James Fallows On the Washington, D.C. Plane-Helicopter Crash

By Cary Littlejohn

As I do whenever there's aviation-related news to digest and understand, I look forward to James Fallows's clear-eyed, thoughtful, and insider perspective.

What Do We Know Now, About the Airline Crash in DC?
We’re in a veil of ignorance. But that’s nothing compared to the blindness and bigotry of the commander-in-chief.

He didn't disappoint when talking about the tragic midair collision of American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army helicopter as the jet was on approach at Washington, D.C.'s Reagan National Airport.

Video of the crash showed a fiery explosion, and both aircrafts crashed into the Potomac River. All 64 people aboard the jet and the helicopter's three-person crew were killed.
