FAA: 'Clearly, something was missed' that led to DC crash

Friday, March 28, 2025

The National Transportation Safety Board said all of the data that shows the regular near misses and close proximity events at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) was publicly available data. "Between October 2021 and December 2024 there were over 15,000 close proximity events between commercial aircraft and helicopters at DCA," NTSB Chairman Jennifer Homendy said as she and Rocheleau testified before the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation, Space and Innovation.

Thursday's hearing also revealed that the false alarms that told pilots they were on a collision course with another plane while on approach to Reagan Airport earlier this month were caused by the Secret Service and the Navy improperly testing counter-drone technology, according to an exchange between Cruz and Rocheleau. The testing was being done on the same spectrum that the Traffic Collision Avoidance System in the cockpit uses. Cruz said the Secret Service and the Navy were warned not to use the same spectrum before the false alarm incidents.

That's interesting.

Putin's brain dead DNA receptacle had the best explanation.

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.
