In the deadliest U.S. major commercial aviation incident in 16 years, there were no survivors in a collision between a commercial aircraft and an Army helicopter by Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington D.

The crash comes days after an American Airlines passenger jet carrying 64 people collided midair with an Army Black Hawk helicopter crewed by three soldiers. Trump sharply criticized the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) following the disaster, saying that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives at the agency could be responsible.

President Trump argued Thursday that it appears to him that the collision between an American Airlines jet and Army helicopter over the Potomac River “should have been prevented.”
