After nearly 16 years without a fatal crash on a major U.S. airline, the safety record ended with the Jan. 29, 2025, collision of an Army helicopter and an American Eagle jet over the Potomac River, killing all 67 people aboard. The NTSB cited congested airspace and broader strains, including controller shortages, and issued 33 safety recommendations; more than a year later, the FAA had not implemented one-third of them. The article argues that a series of subsequent accidents and close calls, alongside cuts to advisory bodies and other safety measures, signals growing vulnerabilities, although U.S. air travel remains statistically very safe.
