The National Transportation Safety Board is set to scrutinise the deadliest US air crash since 2001 this Tuesday, where 67 people died in a collision between an airliner and an Army helicopter near Washington, D.C., on January 29. Investigators are expected to detail multiple contributing factors rather than a single cause.
The NTSB hearing will explore these numerous factors, with the board aiming to propose crucial changes to avert similar incidents. The Federal Aviation Administration has already cemented temporary restrictions, ensuring aircraft and helicopters will no longer share the same airspace around Reagan National Airport.
