What Happened
Investigation Underway After Apparent Safety Breach At Reagan National
An investigation is underway after a commercial plane took off from Reagan National Airport as President Trump’s helicopter, Marine One, was approaching. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon, may have violated safety procedures put in place after a midair collision near the airport last year. Both the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the incident, which could have significant implications for air traffic control protocols. The incident was first reported by The Washington Post.
