Overview
An American Airlines regional jet collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C., resulting in the feared deaths of all 67 occupants. Following the incident, President Trump took executive action appointing a new FAA head, citing concerns about the previous administration's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies that he claims may have contributed to the crash. Investigations are ongoing, focusing on air traffic control decisions. The tragedy marked the first major airline disaster in the U.S. since 2009, drawing significant scrutiny and calls for higher standards in aviation safety.
