💨 Abstract

The U.S. government has acknowledged failures by Army Black Hawk helicopter pilots and an air traffic controller in the January 29 midair collision over the Potomac River, which resulted in 67 deaths. This admission is part of a court filing in a civil lawsuit brought by the family of a passenger on American Eagle flight 5342. The government admits breaching its duty of care, allowing families to seek damages.
