One Year Later: Here Are the Victims of the Washington, DC, Plane Crash

  • On Jan. 29, 2025, a military helicopter collided with American Airlines Flight 5342 as it approached Reagan National Airport, killing all 67 people aboard both aircraft.
  • At a daylong hearing Tuesday, investigators highlighted ignored warnings, lack of military and air tower training, underused FAA near-miss data, and a helicopter route through the runway approach after a 2013 near miss.
  • More than 1,700 first responders, medical professionals, investigators and support personnel took part in recovery efforts, while divers reported 10 feet visibility and a strong jet‑fuel odor in the Potomac River.
  • Families held a D.C. memorial and urged policy changes, including a locator‑system bill with unanimous Senate support, as Amy Hunter said, `Honoring the 67 means more than remembering who they were.`
  • FAA changes now require special permission for some helicopter flights, but pilots warned those restrictions could hinder emergency operations as Daniel Hill credited a police helicopter on Aug. 3.
