The United States government has admitted fault in a Washington, DC plane crash in which 67 people were killed, and will now pay out compensation to families.
The midair collision over the Potomac River between a passenger plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter on January 29 this year was a “wholly avoidable tragedy” and occurred due to the helicopter pilots’ “failure to maintain vigilance,” a Department of Justice filing made on 17 December stated.
