    39 postsWashington DCUnited States

    The U.S. Defense Department has launched an immediate investigation following a mid-air collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines jet over the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport on Wednesday night. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed that the Black Hawk helicopter was on an annual proficiency training flight and was operated by a 'fairly experienced crew' conducting a required annual night evaluation using night vision goggles. The crash resulted in the tragic loss of all 64 passengers aboard the civilian airliner and the three soldiers on the helicopter. Hegseth stated, "It's a tragedy, a horrible loss of life for those 64 souls on that civilian airliner, and of course the three soldiers in that Black Hawk." The 12th Aviation Battalion at Fort Belvoir, responsible for the helicopter, has been grounded for 48 hours pending the investigation. Next of kin notifications are underway, and both the Army and the Pentagon are actively investigating to determine the cause of the collision.
