Washington DC crash: Data from plane's black boxes gives conflicting information on altitudes - as pictures of third soldier with Joe Biden and Ralph Lauren emerge

In an emotional news conference, officials from the National Transportation Safety Board said the families of the victims are desperate for answers.

More information about those who died has also emerged. The US Army identified Captain Rebecca M Lobach, from Durham, North Carolina, as the third soldier who died in the crash.

The names of the other two soldiers were released on Friday, but Ms Lobach's name was withheld at the request of her family.

They said she was "a bright star in all our lives". Ms Lobach served as a White House military social aide and was pictured alongside President Joe Biden and Ralph Lauren during the awarding of the fashion designer's Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this year.

Army officials have said the helicopter crew was highly experienced and familiar with the congested skies around Washington DC.

In an emotional news conference, Mr Inman said he has spent hours with the victims' families since the crash.

"I don't want to have to meet with those parents like that again."

The families, he said, are struggling. "Some wanted to give us hugs. Some are just mad and angry," Mr Inman said.

"They are just all hurt. And they still want answers, and we want to give them answers."
