On January 30, 2025, American Eagle Flight 5342 collided mid-air with a U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., during the plane's final approach to Reagan National Airport. Tragically, all 67 people on board both aircraft lost their lives. The victims included Olympic figure skaters, their coaches, and military personnel. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause, with air traffic control and communication errors being central areas of focus.
