A timeline of the January air disaster in Washington, the deadliest in the US since 2001

Associated Press  

The Jan. 29 collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger airplane over Washington, D.C., killed 67 people, making it the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001. The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday recommended a ban on some helicopter flights near Ronald Reagan National Airport to improve safety, saying the current setup “poses an intolerable risk.” Later in the day, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he’ll adopt the NTSB’s recommendations, with some modifications, in guidelines to be released Wednesday. Jan. 31 Officials announce that the Black Hawk’s black box has been recovered and the flight data is being reviewed, along with the actions of the military pilot and air traffic control. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz says NTSB officials in a briefing told senators that the helicopter’s Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast — an aviation surveillance technology that transmits aircraft location and other data to air traffic control and other aircraft — was off. March 11 Federal investigators recommend a ban on some helicopter flights near Reagan National Airport to improve safety, saying the current setup “poses an intolerable risk.” Later in the day, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he’ll adopt the NTSB’s recommendations, with some modifications, in guidelines to be released Wednesday.
