The NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy criticized the Federal Aviation Administration for not being able to prevent the American Airlines Flight 5342 and the U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter from colliding on Jan. 29. “Why did it take 67 lives to be lost and families who are just destroyed forever to understand what was occurring,” Homendy said.

The head of the NTSB criticized U.S. officials for failing to act before the collision of a U.S. Army helicopter with an American Airlines jet.
