Whereas, the webcam footage reportedly taken from the Kennedy Center looks more like a drone attacking a helicopter, this alternate angle of the collision from a dash cam does appear to show an airplane slamming into a helicopter.

The dash cam timestamp indicates 8:48PM at the moment of impact of America Airlines Flight 5342 with an Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac, near Ronald Reagan National Airport, which is 9 minutes earlier than the official time of impact of 8:57PM, according to open source flight tracker, FlightAware.com

This discrepancy could be the result of the dash cam clock being not being set accurately, and it may or may not be relevant.
