67 Die in D.C. Plane and Helicopter Collision

News summary

A tragic midair collision occurred involving an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport, resulting in no survivors among the 67 people on board. Among the deceased were Elizabeth Keys, a Washington-based attorney who had flown home early to celebrate her birthday, and Kiah Duggins, a civil rights attorney and former Miss Kansas contestant who was returning to Washington D.C. after visiting family. Keys was highly regarded for her wit and ambition, while Duggins was praised for her dedication to civil rights and her promising future as a law professor at Howard University. The collision has left families and communities in mourning, and the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. Both women leave behind legacies in their respective fields, with Duggins notably having worked on challenges against unconstitutional policing and bail practices. Recovery efforts are ongoing, with 40 bodies retrieved so far, as authorities continue to search the Potomac River crash site.
