Army helicopter may not have heard order to go behind jet before midair collision, investigators say

  • The National Transportation Safety Board has completed its on-scene investigation of the crash involving a regional jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport, which killed all 67 people aboard on January 29.
  • Data suggests the Black Hawk crew may not have fully received instructions to 'pass behind the' other aircraft, prompting a review of communications during the incident.
  • Investigators have identified 'bad data' in the altitude measurements captured by the Black Hawk's flight recorder and will collaborate with Sikorsky to address this issue.
  • The helicopter crew included Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O'Hara, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, while the jet had passengers from various backgrounds, including members of the Skating Club of Boston.
