Two airport employees have been charged after they reportedly leak to CNN video images of last week’s fatal aircraft and helicopter crash in Washington, DC
The two videos broadcast by CNN on Friday offered the clearest view of the collision of January 29 about the Potomac River that killed 67 people.

Lamine Mbengue, 21, from Rockville, Maryland, was arrested on Friday and accused of computer tour for “making an unauthorized copy of Airports Authority Records,” said a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority in a statement.
He was booked in the Arlington County Adult Detention Center and released on his own recognition.
Jonathan Savoy, 45, from Upper Marlboro, Maryland, was also accused of computer damage on Sunday. He was released on a summons by the magistrate.
