Two airport employees have been arrested in connection with what officials said was an unauthorized release of video of last week’s fatal plane crash over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C.
The footage showing the collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet was leaked to CNN, according to WTTG-TV.
Mohamed Lamine Mbengue, 21, of Rockville, Maryland, was arrested Friday on a charge of computer trespass, according to the report.
Jonathan Savoy, 45, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, was arrested Sunday. He was also charged with computer trespass.
Both are employees of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, according to USA Today.
Mbengue was released on his own recognizance from the Arlington County Adult Detention Center, according to radio station WTOP.
