American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, should’ve landed safe and sound on Wednesday if not for an avoidable collision in the air.

The commercial passenger plane that collided with a Black Hawk chopper over the icy Potomac River in Washington, DC, was mere seconds away from landing when it was clipped and split in half in the air.

Now, we are seeing new footage that shows this entire event could’ve been avoided.

New footage shows just how much time the Black Hawk helicopter had before everything went terribly wrong.
