The US Army helicopter that collided with an American Airlines (AAL) jet last week near Washington, D.C., had a key safety system turned off, Reuters reported Thursday, citing comments from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
Prior to the crash that killed 67 people, the Black Hawk helicopter had its automatic dependent surveillance broadcast turned off, which is permitted for military aircraft, Cruz reportedly said.
