NTSB Reports 67 Dead in D.C. Plane Crash, Warns Against Speculation

News summary

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has initiated an investigation into a fatal midair collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport, resulting in the deaths of all 67 individuals onboard. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy emphasized the importance of thorough investigation and validation of information before drawing conclusions about the crash's cause. In the wake of the incident, former President Donald Trump attributed the accident to lowered standards for air traffic controllers, claiming the changes occurred after his administration ended. Homendy rebuffed these assertions, stressing that the NTSB requires time to gather facts and avoid speculation. The agency plans to release a preliminary report within 30 days and will continue to review data from various sources including the FAA. The investigation aims to provide clarity on the factors contributing to this tragic event.
