U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran sounded an alarm that the ongoing federal government shutdown threatened to break the nation's "fragile" aviation system. Moran, a Kansas Republican who chairs the Senate's subcommittee on aviation, space and innovation, made reference to the Jan. 29 crash of a commercial jet from Wichita that collided with a military helicopter in crowded airspace above Washington, D.C.

That was possibly President Plane Crash's greatest moment. Let him explain:
"I guess the helicopter was high. And we'll find out exactly what happened. But the odds, even if you had nothing, if you had nobody, the odds of that happening" extremely small.

You never see 'em hit. It was amazing that that could happen."
