AI Fusion Summary

The National Transportation Safety Board reports a close call between Marine One and a commercial jet at Reagan National. Marine One crew made repeated, failed attempts to issue radio warnings before departing, which controllers missed. Consequently, a jet was cleared for takeoff into the helicopter's path. Investigations suggest that White House construction may have contributed to the incident, as controllers were unable to halt the aircraft's departure due to the unheard warnings from the presidential helicopter.
