Years before a Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet near Reagan National Airport, safety warnings and near-misses haunted the busy Washington, D.C. airspace, according to reports.
The collision occurred on January 29, killing all 67 people on board both aircrafts. While the incident marked the deadliest commercial airline crash on U.S. soil in 15 years, FAA records suggest similar incidents have almost occurred many times in recent years.
