Investigators recovered black boxes from the American Airlines flight that collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington DC’s Reagan Airport, killing 67. Divers searching the Potomac River have retrieved 28 bodies. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is analyzing flight data. Reports indicate only one air traffic controller was on duty, raising staffing concerns. President Trump speculated on hiring standards and ended diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices in aviation. China confirmed two nationals among the victims, while Russia mourned its citizens. A preliminary NTSB report is expected in 30 days.
