A grainy snippet of video footage taken in the dark of night, seemingly by an airport CCTV camera, appears to show the fatal mid-air collision of an American Airlines passenger plane and a military Black Hawk helicopter.
American Airlines Flight 5342 was on approach at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, the plane showing up on the video as a fuzzy ball of white light in the black 9 p.m. skies of the U.S. capital.
