Air Traffic Control Failures and Military Helicopter Collision Claim 67 Lives

The US government has admitted its role in the January 2025 Black Hawk helicopter crash that killed 67 people. The crash occurred when a military helicopter collided with a commercial jet over the Potomac River while the aircraft was approaching Reagan Washington National Airport. The government accepted its duty of care was breached, and the FAA and American Airlines also played a role in the crash. The incident has raised concerns about air traffic control procedures and military aviation safety. This report is based on court documents filed by the family of one of the victims.
