Collision Over the Capital: Legal and Policy Implications of the 2025 D.C. Midair Tragedy
2025 D.C. Midair Tragedy: On the morning of January 29, 2025, a tragic midair collision between a commercial passenger aircraft and a military helicopter over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., claimed the lives of all 67 individuals onboard both crafts. The commercial aircraft, an American Airlines regional jet en route to New York, collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter conducting a routine training mission. Among the victims were members of the U.S. and Russian figure skating communities—young athletes, trainers, and champions—whose loss has reverberated through the international sports and public policy communities alike.
