NTSB report on deadly midair collision DCA

The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday recommended that helicopter traffic be banned from a four-mile stretch over the Potomac River when flights are landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy, at a briefing Tuesday, said the setup at the airport poses an "intolerable risk" to safety. Duffy, after the crash, restricted helicopter traffic around the airport and over the Potomac River until the end of March. "We are going to continue with our restrictions," he said Tuesday.

"I guess the helicopter was high, and we will point out exactly what happened," he said. "But the odds even if you had nothing, nobody, the odds of that happening are extremely small. Did you ever go to a driving range in golf and hit hundreds of balls, thousands of hours. I've never seen a ball hit another ball. You never see them hit and balls going up all over the place. That is amazing that could happen."

Basics from the NSBC presser:

- NTSB recommends permanently shutting down that helicopter route wile specific DCA runways are in use, and finding an alternate route.

- They release the info that they have confirmed, and do not release anything that has not been confirmed.

- They have not yet identified a cause of the incident

NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy also seemed to be kissing Transport Secretary whoverheis's taint a lot. I wonder who called her?
