More than a month after an American Airlines plane and a Black Hawk helicopter collided near Reagan National Airport (DCA), killing 67 people, officials with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are calling for immediate changes to helicopter routes around DCA because they said it poses “an intolerable risk to aviation safety.

The National Transportation Safety Board "urgently recommended" Tuesday that the Federal Aviation Administration permanently prohibit helicopter traffic near Reagan National Airport when two runways are in use following the deadliest aviation disaster in the U.

As the investigation continues, the NTSB team remains focused on thoroughly analyzing the data to determine the full scope of what went wrong and how to prevent similar incidents in the future. The agency has praised swift action from officials like Sean Duffy, who they say has prioritized safety improvements in the wake of the crash.
