Two employees of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) in D.C. have been accused of leaking official airport footage of the helicopter collision with American Airlines Flight 5342. The collision occurred just outside Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) and resulted in the deaths of 67 people.
The two employees, Mohamed Lamine Mbengue and Jonathan Savoy, have been charged with computer trespass, a misdemeanor. They are accused of making an unauthorized copy of Airports Authority records related to the collision and leaking the footage to CNN.
Mbengue was arrested and released on his own recognizance, while Savoy was released on a summons by a magistrate. Authorities have not released any further information about the incident.
Fox News Digital reached out to CNN for comment, but did not receive a response.

How dare they? This is a crime, and they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Shame on CNN and these MWAA employees. This is a blatant disregard for privacy and security.

CNN should be ashamed of themselves for airing this footage. They're just as guilty as the leakers.

I'm boycotting CNN. I will not support an organization that does this.
