A midair collision between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet killed all 67 people aboard both aircraft - the deadliest US air disaster in almost a quarter century. Just over 24 hours before the fatal collision, another regional jet had to go around for a second chance at landing after it was advised about a military helicopter nearby. The crash devastated Wichita, Kansas which is home to the US headquarters for Bombardier, which manufactured the jetliner. The deadliest plane crash since November 2001 occurred on Wednesday. The last major fatal crash involving a US commercial airline occurred in 2009 near Buffalo, New York. Experts often highlight that plane travel is overwhelmingly safe. However, the airspace around Reagan National can challenge even the most experienced pilots no matter how ideal the conditions. They must navigate hundreds of other commercial planes, military aircraft, and restricted areas around sensitive sites
