New investigation avenue opens into Washington DC crash


A US House of Representatives oversight subcommittee has opened an investigation into the military’s use of airspace around Washington DC, following the fatal collision between an American Eagle flight and a Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).  

The bipartisan panel, led by Chairman William Timmons and ranking member Suhas Subramanyam, will seek to discover what measures the US military are taking to “ensure calamities of this nature do not occur in the future”. 

In a letter sent to the Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on March 13, 2025, the oversight panel requested a member-level briefing to establish a “list of known or suspected failures in operational procedures that led to the incident”.
