A US Army report identifies systemic breakdowns that caused a January 2025 midair collision in Washington, D.C. The crash involved a UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet near Reagan National Airport, resulting in 67 deaths. The 50-page investigation, obtained by Politico, concludes that these systematic failures created the conditions for the tragedy. Families of the victims had previously pushed for the release of the findings to understand the causes of the fatal accident.
