NTSB reveals American Airlines pilot may have tried last-minute maneuver to avoid crash

The National Transportation Safety Board said on Saturday that the pilot of the American Airlines plane that collided with a Black Hawk helicopter earlier this week may have witnessed the incoming danger and tried to move the plane upward to avoid the crash.

In a press briefing where board members of the NTSB revealed new information about the collision earlier this week that killed 67 people, board member Todd Inman spoke about the “last second” movement of the plane.
