Families of DC Plane Crash Victims Call on Army for Accountability and Safety Reform

POTOMAC RIVER, JUL 10 – Families of 67 victims accuse the Army of evading responsibility and public scrutiny after a midair collision involving an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a commercial flight, officials said.

  • Family members of victims from the DC plane crash sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army, demanding accountability and safety reforms regarding the Army's refusal to engage with them after the incident.
  • Lawmakers, including Senator Ted Cruz and Senator Maria Cantwell, criticized the Army for not cooperating with victims' families after the crash.
  • The Army Inspector General declined to open an independent audit into the crash, despite bipartisan support for this action, as outlined in the families' letter.
  • The letter emphasized the Army's responsibility for public transparency and the need for urgent safety reforms due to this being the deadliest incident involving U.S. civilian casualties caused by the military in modern history.
