TWO men have been arrested after allegedly leaking footage of a fatal crash that involved an American Airlines passenger plane and a military helicopter.
The jet and a Black Hawk copter plunged into the icy Potomac river in Washington DC after colliding at Reagan national airport, killing 67.
The air disaster was America’s deadliest in 25 years.
Footage of the crash went viral and investigators have arrested two people.
Both are part of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
Mohamed Lamine Mbengue, 21, was arrested and charged with computer trespass.
Jonathan Savoy, 45, has also been hit with the same charge.
More than 50 bodies have been recovered from the crash site.
On Monday, crews were seen hoisting the plane’s engine and fuselage from the water.
Crews are confident that they will find all of the bodies.
“We’re going to recover everyone,” John Donnelly, the Washington Fire and EMS chief, said on Sunday.
But he alluded to the difficulties crews are having when it comes to retrieving the bodies.
“If we knew where they were, though, we would already have them out,” he said.
“So we have some work to do as the salvage operation goes on.”
It’s expected it will take around three days for the plane wreckage to be removed.
