Federal authorities have restricted helicopter flights near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. The move comes days after a deadly collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter.
The airspace above Reagan National Airport, where a commercial plane collided with an Army helicopter this week, has become increasingly congested with air traffic, including helicopters.
Responders are working to recover the victims of Wednesday night's midair collision over Washington, D.C. It could be the deadliest crash to occur in U.S. airspace in at least 15 years.
