The National Transportation Safety Board will hold three days of hearings on the fatal midair collision between a passenger jet and an Army helicopter. The goal of the hearings is to pinpoint exactly what went wrong and how to avoid similar accidents. The crash occurred in January in the skies above Washington. It killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft. The NTSB's hearings will be in Washington and will start Wednesday. They come at a time of heightened scrutiny of the safety of air travel amid the growing list of aircraft tragedies, mishaps and near misses in 2025, and as federal officials raise concerns over the nation’s overtaxed and understaffed air traffic control system.
