WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) - A fatal collision between
an American Airlines ( AAL ) regional jet and Army Black Hawk helicopter
near Reagan Washington National Airport in January 2025 was the
result of a "multitude of errors" and "systemic issues across
multiple organizations," members of the National Transportation
Safety Board said Tuesday.
The board is holding an all-day hearing and plans to propose
dozens of safety recommendations to address failures before the
crash. The NTSB disclosed in March that since 2021 there were
15,200 air separation incidents near Reagan between commercial
airplanes and helicopters, including 85 close-call events.
