Danger in the sky! US President Donald Trump’s military helicopter flew close to the plane’s ear. He was rescued by force. But how this situation arose is still unclear. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have already started investigating the incident.

According to multiple media reports, Trump’s helicopter left the White House for Andrews Air Force Base on Tuesday afternoon. At the same time, an American Airlines plane also took off from Washington Airport. The US President’s helicopter came very close to that flight in mid-air. Trump’s Marine One chopper almost flew within earshot. However, the helicopter and the plane moved away within seconds. No damage was reported in the incident. The US President was saved by a strong wind.   

But it is still unclear what caused the incident. After an initial investigation, the Federal Aviation Administration said that there was a momentary deviation in the safe distance between the two flights. However, the situation returned to normal within a short time. A thorough investigation into the incident is underway after examining all aspects.
