Collision Over the Capital: Legal, Political, and Policy Implications of the 2025 D.C. Midair Crash
The midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 29, 2025, between an American Airlines regional jet and a Black Hawk military helicopter has reignited national debates over aviation safety, regulatory oversight, and diversity initiatives within federal agencies. Tragically, 28 individuals were confirmed dead, including several celebrated U.S. and Russian figure skaters. Initial speculation, including from political leaders, rapidly politicized the event, with accusations that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compromised safety standards.
