Deadly DC Air Crash Probe Begins | JQJO

A three-day investigation into the January 29th midair collision over Washington D.C., involving an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter, began Wednesday. The crash killed all 67 on board, making it the deadliest since 2001. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is examining the roles of the FAA, air traffic controllers, and the Army. Newly released surveillance video and the plane's cockpit voice recorder are key evidence. The investigation is looking into potential contributing factors such as a lack of timely action based on collision warnings, a last-minute runway change request, and the Army's practice of flying with key location equipment turned off. Legislation has been proposed to mandate upgraded aviation technology.
