An Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with a regional jet flying for American Airlines carrying 64 people on Wednesday night.Air accident investigations can take months and even more than a year to complete.
Rescuers raced to recover passengers from the frigid waters of the Potomac River Wednesday night, but local officials said conditions were challenging due to high winds. The crash of that turboprop aircraft prompted federal regulations requiring more rest and training for pilots. "It's extremely safe. Even with this accident I'll say it's extremely safe," said Jeff Guzzetti, a retired air safety investigator with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration.
