I was very worried about what it could be,&quot; Mazel said.It was too dark to see exactly what was going on, and he only learned the details when he spoke to reporters gathered in Arlington, he said.&quot;I&#39;m still shocked. I&#39;m still a little shaken,&quot; Mazel said.Hegseth: The crew of the military helicopter was experiencedThe US military helicopter that collided with a passenger plane near Washington was operated by a &quot;fairly experienced crew&quot; and used night vision goggles, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said today.He added that all aircraft of the battalion to which this helicopter belonged were grounded for 48 hours, reports Reuters.&quot;We expect that the investigation will quickly be able to determine whether the aircraft was in the corridor and at the correct altitude at the time of the incident,&quot; Hegseth said.One official said other helicopters, such as those from the National Guard, would still be allowed to help with recovery efforts.The US military has spoken outThe crew of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with a commercial airliner was &quot;quite experienced,&quot; the US military said Thursday, the Telegraph reports.The Pentagon has begun notifying the next of kin of three soldiers who were on a training flight when they collided with an American Airlines plane on final approach to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the flight was part of an annual proficiency check exercise.
