Chilling history of near misses at DC airport where Black Hawk helicopter collided with American Airlines plane

Daily Mail  

Aviation experts are sounding the alarm over the dangerous airspace over Reagan International Airport as they described last week's American Airlines crash as a 'disaster waiting to happen.' Feller said he was piloting a military helicopter along the Potomac River near Reagan Airport when an air traffic controller warned him about a passenger jet landing on runway 3-3 - the same runway the American Airlines jet was landing on when it crashed. In the aftermath of the January 29 tragedy over Reagan International Airport where an American Airlines jet collided with a US miliary Blackhawk helicopter, aviation experts warned it was a 'disaster waiting to happen' Experts warn Reagan International Airport's congested airspace and crossovers with military flights have been an issue for years. Retired U.S. Army National Guard pilot Darrell Feller said the American Airlines disaster was eerily similar to a near-miss he had over a decade ago in the same airspace, where he lost sight of a passenger jet due to city lights from Washington DC Search and rescue members work at the wreckage site in the Potomac River, where 67 people lost their lives as nobody survived the crash Experts say issues with the airspace may have been worsened by a decision from Congress last year to ease restrictions on how many flights landed at Reagan, alongside the expansion of routes that fly out of the airport.
