Marking 6 Months: Inside the Reagan Airspace Collision Investigation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

This week marks six months since the deadly mid-air collision between an American Eagle jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating how the crash occurred in the tightly controlled airspace shared by commercial and military aircraft. Lawmakers and aviation experts are pushing for upgraded technology to prevent similar tragedies as hearings continue in Washington. An Army helicopter pilot testified that altimeters are tested before each flight for accuracy, but if you’re unfamiliar with the terrain, determining your altitude can be difficult. Senator Ted Cruz has introduced legislation that would require all aircraft — commercial and military — to be updated with new technology.
