An Airplane Collision at the Washington, D.C., Ronald Reagan National Airport: No One Onboard a Military Helicopter Or a Commercial Jet

On Thursday morning, President Donald Trump appeared to place the blame for a midair collision that killed 67 people on the previous administration’s approach to hiring aviation professionals. But experts and investigators involved with the crash, which also involved a military helicopter, say the next few weeks will see investigators pore over every element of the crash, and the moments leading up to it, to determine the causes.

“You need to give us time,” Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, said at a press conference Thursday. The NTSB is an independent US federal watchdog agency that is leading the investigation into the crash. “We have data, we have substantial amounts of information,” she said. We have to verify information.

On Wednesday evening, a US Army Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter collided with the tail of a Bombardier CRJ-700 jet coming in for landing at Washington, DC’s Ronald Reagan National Airport. Officials say no one on board either the military helicopter or the commercial airliner, operated by the regional airline PSA Airlines on behalf of American Airlines, survived the crash. It is the deadliest US commercial airline crash in 16 years.

Aviation Safety at the Federal Aviation Administration: The Case for a Relativistic, Multi-Agent, Multicomponent Aircraft Collision

Later on Thursday, the White House released a statement criticizing the Biden administration’s “rejection of merit-based hiring” at the FAA in favor of a hiring program that encouraged diversity. The FAA and US secretary of transportation have been told by Trump to review all of the hires and safety protocols made by the FAA during the four years of the Biden administration. It is possible that firings will be used to achieve aviation safety.

Inman stated during a press briefings that there will be at least seven different working groups that will focus on different elements of the flights.

An operations group will look into the history of the accident and the crew involved. Some people will focus on the body of the aircraft, examining the wreck and scene of the crash to see what path the plane took before it crashed. Another will zoom in on the engines involved. Others will examine onboard hydraulic, electrical, and pneumatic systems, as well as flight control instruments. A group will look specifically at the role of air traffic control, using recordings and sensor data to determine how professionals at National Airport reacted to the incident. Another will examine the reactions of first responders, and another will examine the helicopter in particular. A “human performance” group will be embedded within several of those organizations, focusing on what role crew fatigue, workload, medication, equipment, and training might have played in the collision.

Northeast Philadelphia Airport serves both business jets and charter flights. Photos taken at the crash site appear to show residential homes on fire.

The plane in Philadelphia appeared to be a Learjet 55 that quickly disappeared from radar after takeoff. It was en route to Springfield, Missouri, and registered to a company operating as Med Jets, according to the flight tracking website Flight Aware.

The first day of February 11th, 2015, when a small plane crashed: David Ortiz, 38, of Philadelphia, is the youngest person in the world

A loud bang on Friday shook his house and he was sitting at his home in Mayfair. He said the felt like a mini earthquake and when he looked his home security camera footage, it appeared to show a missile hitting the ground. He said that he thought we were under attack for a second after the explosion.

The small jet took off from the airport and vanished from radar 30 seconds after climbing to an altitude of 1,600 feet.

A plane crashed in the intersection of a busy intersection near Roosevelt Mall, which is an outdoor shopping center where first responders were blocking traffic and onlookers crowded onto a street corner. Philadelphia’s emergency management office stated that roads are closed.

One cellphone video taken by a witness moments after the plane crashed showed a chaotic scene with debris scattered across the intersection. A wall of orange glowed, as a black smoke billowed into the sky, prompting witnesses to call for help, while sirens blared.

Jet Rescue provides global air ambulance services. In the summer of 2015, the company based in Mexico flew renowned baseball player David Ortiz to Boston after he was wounded in the Dominican Republic.
