Wednesday night's tragic midair collision over the Potomac River has left the nation in mourning, as it stands as the deadliest aviation disaster in the United States since the devastating events of September 11, 2001. The incident has drawn comparisons to the American Airlines Flight 587 crash in New York, which occurred just two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The collision, which involved two aircraft, resulted in a significant loss of life. The National Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash to determine the cause of the tragedy. Initial reports indicate that there were no survivors from either aircraft.
