Cockpit Voice and Flight Data Recorders Found as New Details Emerge About Washington, DC Plane Crash

Investigators have recovered the black boxes from the midair collision near Reagan National Airport on January 29, which killed 67 people, including members of the U.S. figure skating team. The black boxes, a cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, will help analyze the moments before the crash, where a PSA Airlines flight collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River.
Concerns have been raised about air traffic control staffing, as only one controller managed both helicopter and plane traffic at the time, a situation described as “not normal.” The controller was responsible for both helicopters below 200 feet along the Potomac and commercial flights arriving at the airport. The FAA has struggled with staffing shortages for years, contributing to controllers’ increased workload.
While the helicopter pilot was instructed to avoid the plane, there are questions about whether they identified the correct flight.
Divers recovered 28 bodies, and authorities confirmed all 67 people on both aircraft are presumed dead. The black boxes will provide crucial evidence as investigators work to understand the cause of the tragic
