30.01.2025 ⇢ Black Day Over Potomac Waters
⌨
An American Airlines regional jet from Wichita collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport, killing all 67 people aboard both aircraft. The passenger manifest included US figure skaters and coaches returning from championships.
Initial rescue efforts in freezing waters shifted to recovery by afternoon. The FAA revealed the control tower was understaffed, with one controller performing tasks normally handled by two. This disclosure followed recent expansion of flight traffic at Reagan Airport.
Trump's response blaming DEI policies and the military helicopter crew generated media controversy, while American Airlines' CEO pointed fingers at military operations. The incident marks the deadliest US aviation disaster in 24 years.
The crash temporarily overshadowed ongoing political developments, including confirmation hearings for RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel, though coverage returned to these topics by evening.
