THE fatal mistakes that caused a passenger plane to smash into a hovering Black Hawk in a fiery explosion that killed 67 have been made crystal clear in newly released footage.
As bodies continue to be pulled from the Potomac River near Washington DC, an enraged President Donald Trump has started a mad search for who is responsible.

On Thursday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth admitted that an “elevation mistake” saw the Army-operated helicopter hovering in the path of the American Airlines plane before 9 pm on Wednesday.
The crash left no survivors, as 60 passengers, four flight crew members, and three Army soldiers all plunged toward the inky black waters to their deaths.
It is the deadliest US air crash since November 2001, when 260 people died after an American Airlines plane plunged into a Queens neighborhood.
The lethal mistakes have now been captured in newly released angles obtained by CNN.
In the footage, the Black Hawk can be seen hovering motionlessly as the passenger plane makes its final descent toward Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
