Air traffic control staffing at Washington, D.C.’s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” on Wednesday night when a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet collided mid-air, according to a new report.
The crash happened late Wednesday over the Potomac River as the jet from Wichita, Kansas descended to Reagan Washington National. Officials say all 67 people on board both aircraft are believed to be dead as recovery efforts continue.
