The US military helicopter is practicing at night when colliding with a passenger aircraft

The UH-60 Black Hawk collided with a passenger plane in Washington when conducting a periodic night flight test of the US Army.

At the time of colliding with CRJ700 passenger plane on the night of January 29, the UH-60 Black Hawk of the US Army was operated by “experienced crews” and equipped with night glasses. The three soldiers at that time were performing “Annual Flight training exercises as prescribed”, according to January 30 of US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The Pentagon has not announced the identities and ranks of the soldiers present on the helicopter until the process of notifying the incident to the families of these people.

Mr. Hegseth said that soldiers in distress belonging to the 12th Air Force Battalion of the US Army. National Security Adviser Mike Waltz previously revealed a helicopter flight crew of three soldiers and were officers.

The US Army also announced the Black Hawk colliding with CRJ700 passenger plane while “performing training tasks”.

Ron McLendon, a military spokesman in the Capital area, said the force will coordinate with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Traffic Safety Committee (NTSB), in which NTSB is the leading agency.

Military investigators are exploring whether the UH-60 Black Hawk has operated the right region and height as required. This helicopter management unit is suspending all operations until the Pentagon completes a tragedy near the national airport Ronald Reagan.

Earlier, responding to the press conference on January 30, the Transport Minister Sean Duffy said helicopters and passenger aircraft in the tragedy at Ronald Reagan airport were moving on the normal flight route before collisions. He noted that the US military helicopter often flew on the Potomac River.

“There is nothing unusual about the flight route of the military helicopter and the passenger plane in the capital’s airspace. Before the collision, everything happened in the right process,” Duffy said.

However, Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines, PSA Airlines’s parent company, the CRJ700 operating unit, is skeptical about the “right process” of military helicopters. “We still do not understand why military helicopters operate on the flight route of such civilian aircraft,” Mr. Isom questioned.

The CRJ700 aircraft carrying 64 people broke into three pieces after collision with the UH-60 military helicopter of the US Army near the National Airport Ronald Reagan Washington on the night of January 29.

The rescue force has found more than 30 bodies from the Potomac River. John Donnelly, a leader of an emergency fire and medical service in Washington, said it is likely that no one has survived in this aviation tragedy.
