Trump says Black Hawk was 'too high' as NTSB says no conclusions
President Donald Trump is continuing to place apparent blame on the helicopter even though the National Transportation Safety Board says the cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Black Hawk "was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit."
"That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???" he wrote.

The helicopter appeared to be flying at about 350 feet, above the mandated 200 feet, according to sources familiar with the operation.
On Thursday, Trump said the helicopter could have moved out of the way.
"I have helicopters. You can stop a helicopter very quickly. It had the ability to go up or down. It had the ability to turn. And the turn it made was not the correct turn, obviously, and it did somewhat the opposite of what it was told," Trump said at a press briefing. "We don't know that that would have been the difference because the timing was so tight. It was so, it was so little. There was so little time to think."
"Again, you could have slowed down the helicopter substantially," Trump continued. "You could have stopped the helicopter. You could have gone up, you could have gone down. You could have gone straight up, straight down, you could have turned. You could have done a million different maneuvers. For some reason, it just kept going, and then made a slight turn at the very end, and it was, by that time, it was too late."
