Late on January 29, 2025, an American Eagle flight collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C. The Potomac crash killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft.

In the aftermath of high profile aviation stories, I've been working overtime to reassure my colleagues and readers that flying is still safe.

The NTSB, D.C. Fire Department, and federal agencies collaborate to recover wreckage and victims from the tragic American Airlines plane crash and Black Hawk helicopter crash near Reagan National Airport.
