30 more victims found in plane crash

Following the plane crash near Washington, rescuers have found more than 30 bodies at the scene of the tragedy, NBC reports. The disaster resulted in numerous casualties, and the rescue operation continued throughout the night, although it has not yet been completed. Rescue and body recovery efforts are ongoing.

Possible cause of the accident: air traffic controller error

According to CNN, the cause of the crash may have been an error by an air traffic controller. According to the outlet's information, the pilot of a military Black Hawk helicopter requested visual separation during flight to determine the location of other aircraft and avoid a potential collision.

However, as experts claim, the controller authorised the helicopter to change its course but did not clarify all the details, including failing to prohibit a change in altitude. This could have been a decisive factor in the development of the disaster.

Next steps and continuation of rescue operations

The rescue operation, which continued throughout the night, has not yet been completed. Emergency services are continuing to work at the crash site, clearing the area and attempting to find possible survivors. However, given the scale of the tragedy, the chances of this are diminishing.

The investigation into the causes of the crash is in its early stages, but it is already assumed that an error in air traffic control may be the primary theory of what happened.
