00:00The American Airlines aircraft seemed to be on a approved flight path, but at 400 feet,
00:05150 miles an hour, it was struck. And of course, the Blackhawk helicopter, which was meant to be
00:10at 200 feet, was subsequently reported the accident was happening at 400 feet. The accident
00:16data recorders are exceptionally good at collecting all the data from the flight,
00:22not only the voice recording, but also all of the position of the aircraft and the like.
00:28The investigation will also be looking at air traffic control tapes, so all of the radar tapes,
00:33the voice tapes as well. And of course, they'll be looking at the pilots, all the pilots involved,
00:39to find out were they fed properly, were they rested properly, were they properly qualified,
00:43have they done their simulators, all of which will be done in an investigation. I flew jets
00:49in my previous career and was the subject of a crash, the Jetport fire. And so I know the way
00:55that these reports go. And generally speaking, they're two phases. They want to have an urgent
01:00report feedback so they can give some preliminary findings to allow people to get on and start to
01:07modify procedures. And the long term, which often takes up to a year before you actually get to the
01:13bottom of the investigation and find out every detail about what had happened.
