00:00Do I think this was preventable? Absolutely. Everything was standard in the lead up to the
00:06crash. Now obviously there was something that happened here. You'll get more information and
00:10more details as this investigation moves forward. We'll learn what happened. But again, those who
00:16live in the DC area, we see military helicopters fly up and down the river. It's a standard path
00:22that they fly. They're used to aircraft landing at DCA and there's a procedure in place because
00:29this happens every day. Something went wrong here. I look forward to the time and point when we can
00:34give you that information.
