Two employees with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in D.C. are accused of leaking official airport footage of the moment when an Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter collided with American Airlines passenger Flight 5342 just outside Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) into the Potomac River last week. 

Both men have been charged in connection with making an unauthorized copy of Airports Authority records related to the Jan. 29 plane collision, according to MWAA. The suspects apparently leaked the footage to CNN, as FOX 5 D.C. reported.

Authorities arrested and charged Mohamed Lamine Mbengue, 21, of Rockville, Maryland, with computer trespass, a misdemeanor, on Jan. 31.

Upon further investigation, authorities arrested and charged Jonathan Savoy, 45, of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, with the same crime.

Savoy was released on a summons by a magistrate, and Mbengue was booked into the Arlington County Adult Detention Center and released on his own recognizance, MWAA told Fox News Digital in a statement.
