Two Indian-origin passengers among 67 killed in Washington mid-air crash
Friday, 31 January 2025 () A deadly collision between an Army helicopter and a commercial airplane at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington has claimed 67 lives, including Indian-origin passengers Vikesh Patel and Asra Hussain Raza. Patel was an MRO Transformational Leader at GE Aerospace, and Raza, a DC-based consultant, had recently married her university sweetheart.
In a shocking revelation, former President Donald Trump has claimed that the Black Hawk helicopter involved in the deadly mid-air crash near Washington, D.C., was "flying too high." Trump criticized the aircraft's altitude, suggesting that it was far above the 200-foot limit when the collision occurred with an American Airlines flight near Reagan Washington National Airport. His comments were made on Truth Social, as the incident continues to be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Pentagon. The crash resulted in the deaths of over 60 people and has sparked a heated debate over aviation safety and regulations.

A recent FAA report has revealed troubling details about the control tower staffing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on the night of a tragic plane-helicopter collision. The report suggests that one air traffic controller was responsible for two positions, which is unusual for the high traffic volumes of the time. Although some sources confirmed staffing was deemed normal, the report pointed to potential safety concerns linked to understaffing and the ongoing controller shortages that have plagued the airport.
