At a news conference, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) officials said that the data of Jet’s flight recorder showed its height as 325ft, plus or minus 25 feet when an accident occurred.
But the initial data in the air traffic control tower showed a black hawk helicopter at 200 feet at that time. The discrepancy has not yet been explained.
