Summary
Donald Trump changed his stance on the cause of the fatal D.C. plane crash, first blaming FAA diversity policies before accusing the U.S. Army helicopter of flying too high.
His shift followed a New York Times report stating the Black Hawk helicopter may have exceeded its approved altitude.
The crash, which killed all 67 onboard, remains under investigation.
Officials emphasize D.C. airspace is highly regulated, and the Pentagon is reviewing flight data, including recovered black boxes, to determine the cause.
Pilot apparently had 1,000 hours and the other crew were at 500. Not sure if that’s significant or not.

For helicopter hours, this is enough to say they’re experienced.
