She commented on one of the video in which the incident was captured. As Schiavo noted, another source of bright light was visible in the area of ​​the plane landing, which is why the helicopter crew probably tracked the wrong plane.

“When I first watched this video, I focused in a moving light, and not on a motionless one, which was actually not motionless. The question is just at the review point. There are fears that the helicopter pilot could focus on a brighter, moving light and accept it For the aircraft that he had to track, ”her words quoted the CNN TV channel.
