64 die in mid-air collision near D.C. between American Airlines plane and Army helicopter.

A U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet near Washington D.C.'s airport, resulting in the deaths of 67 people. The helicopter was on a routine training flight when it struck the commercial plane. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called it a "horrible loss of life," and the Army has paused operations for 48 hours. The incident has sparked debate about the safety of military training flights near busy airports. Investigations by the FAA, NTSB, and the Army are underway to determine the cause.
