A 2025 midair crash killing 67 was caused by systemic failures in air traffic control, communication, and tracking.

The National Transportation Safety Board has concluded that several systemic flaws contributed to the January 2025 midair collision between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter, which resulted in the deaths of 67 people. The crash, the deadliest aviation accident in American history, was discovered by the NTSB. Soil since 2001, as a result of a number of issues with aircraft tracking systems, communication protocols, and air traffic control. Just two days prior to the first anniversary, the findings—which exposed numerous flaws in both military and civilian aviation oversight—were presented during a lengthy hearing. The investigation is still ongoing, and safety recommendations to avert tragedies in the future are anticipated in the final report.
