Government Admits Fault in Deadly Air Crash
Update: 2025-12-18
Description
U.S. Government Admits Role in Fatal Airliner-Helicopter Crash, Blames Pilots and AirlinesThe U.S. government has acknowledged its involvement in a tragic collision last January, which resulted in the deaths of sixty-seven people. The incident involved an airliner and a Black Hawk helicopter near Washington D.C., with the governments admission coming as part of a legal filing related to the crash. However, the filing also suggested that other parties, including the pilots of the jet and the airlines, might share responsibility. American Airlines and its regional partner, PSA Airlines, have since filed motions asking for their dismissal from the case. The governments admission acknowledges the Armys responsibility for the needless loss of life and the FAAs failure to follow air traffic control procedures. The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to release its full report on the crash early next year.
