The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Tuesday released its preliminary report into January’s fatal midair collision at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA) and urged the FAA to take “immediate action” to protect safety.
The investigation into the accident—which killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft—remains open. But initial findings indicate that the flow of traffic at the airport creates an “intolerable risk to aviation safety,” said Jennifer Homendy, NTSB chair, in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.
