WASHINGTON—Air traffic control audio recorded the moments before and after an American Airlines regional passenger jet crashed with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter in a midair collision over Washington on Wednesday night.
Audio from LiveATC.net, a respected source for in-flight recording, captured the final communications between the three crew members of the helicopter—call sign PAT25—before it collided with the CRJ700 Bombardier jet carrying 64 passengers and crew.
