A midair collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet near Reagan National Airport resulted in the deaths of all 67 people on both aircraft. This marks the first commercial air disaster in the U.S. in 15 years. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy stated the accident was "absolutely" preventable, despite standard flight paths and clear conditions.
