Multiple Airport Workers Arrested After Allegedly Leaking Video of Crash

Airport workers have been arrested after they allegedly had shared a video of the crash between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines aircraft that happened near the Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C., last week.

According to The Hill, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) announced the workers, who were from Maryland, had been arrested and charged with a Computer Trespass, which is a misdemeanor, for “making an unauthorized copy” of Airport records.

The MWAA stated that 21-year-old Mohamed Lamine Mbengue had been taken to a detention center in Arlington County, Virginia, but had been released “under his own recognizance,” 45-year-old Jonathan Savoy, the other employee involved in the video leak, was also let go “on a summons by the magistrate.”

D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Chief John Donnelly said over the weekend that 55 victims had been positively identified. In total, there were sixty passengers and four crew members on the American Airline flight, and three soldiers on the 🚁Black Hawk Helicopter. Donnelly announced there were no survivors.
