Investing.com -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized the Federal Aviation Administration on Tuesday for failing to prevent the fatal January 29 crash involving an American Airlines (NASDAQ:AAL) regional jet and an Army helicopter near Reagan Washington National Airport that killed 67 people.
"The mistake was that this was not unforeseen. We had 84 near misses in the three years before in the DC air space and no one did anything," Duffy told reporters. "Someone was asleep at the wheel. Someone should have seen that."
The National Transportation Safety Board revealed in March that since 2021, there were 15,200 air separation incidents between commercial airplanes and helicopters near Reagan Washington National Airport, including 85 close-call events.
