Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeWASHINGTON, Feb 2 — The US Army yesterday released the name of the third soldier who died on a Black Hawk helicopter that collided with an American Airlines passenger jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport this week, killing 67 people in all.
But yesterday the Army said in a statement that Lobach’s family had agreed to release her name to the public. The information was based on data recovered from the jet’s flight data recorder - the “black box” that tracks the aircraft’s movements, speed and other parameters. “That’s what our job is, to figure that out,” NTSB board member Todd Inman told reporters when asked what could explain the discrepancy.
Data confirms that the air traffic controller alerted the helicopter to the presence of the CRJ700 about two minutes before the crash.
