Washington, D.C. – Newly obtained exclusive video footage has provided previously unseen perspectives of the devastating mid-air collision between an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River on Wednesday night.

The footage, captured on cell phones recording security camera replays, offers a detailed look at the final moments before the tragic impact.

In the first video, the Black Hawk helicopter can be seen flying at high speed over the Potomac River, moving from the left side of the frame.

The aircraft’s red flashing lights on its tail and body, along with a green light near its nose, are clearly visible. At the same time, the American Airlines aircraft is seen approaching Reagan National Airport on its final descent.

Within seconds, the two aircraft collide, resulting in a massive explosion. The airliner spins uncontrollably toward the water, ultimately crashing into the river, while the Black Hawk is seen plummeting, its flashing lights still visible before impact.

The second video, which appears to have been recorded from within the airport grounds, provides a clear aerial perspective. It shows the passenger plane approaching Runway 33 from the left side of the frame, while the helicopter hovers above the Potomac on the right.

The footage captures the moment the two aircraft continue on a collision course at low altitude, culminating in a catastrophic fireball.

The explosion is followed by both aircraft plummeting into the river, leaving behind a trail of debris.

Authorities continue to analyze the footage as part of an ongoing federal investigation into the cause of the collision.

The Pentagon, Department of Defense, and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched comprehensive inquiries into the sequence of events leading up to the crash.
