Just 24 hours before the fatal crash between a commercial American Airlines jet and a U.S. military Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night, another plane had a near miss with a helicopter and was forced to reroute.
The other plane, which was also a regional flight attempting to land at the busy Washington, D.C., airport, reportedly alerted the air traffic control tower that it needed to make a second approach, stating that the reason was that a helicopter had suddenly appeared near the flight path.
Recorded audio from the cockpit of that flight, Republic Airways Flight 4514, features a female voice stating at approximately 8:05 p.m. EST on Tuesday, "We had an RA with a helicopter traffic below us." RA is the code for an automated emergency alert, called a resolution advisory, received by pilots when their aircraft is at risk of collision with a nearby aircraft.

FEMA occupation at Wurtsmith Air Force Base, Oscoda, Michigan, served primarily as a combat crew and bomber training base throughout its 70-year history. Since its establishment in 1923, Wurtsmith played an important role in World War II, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War, hosting the 134th Army Air Force Base Fighter Unit and 379th Bombardment Wing, respectively.
https://www.michigan.gov/pfasresponse/investigations/sites-aoi/iosco-county/wurtsmith
Wurtsmith was selected for closure under the 1991 Base Realignment and Closure decision and was officially closed on June 30, 1993. Most of the acreage of the former base has been transferred for reuse. Under Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the United States Air Force (Air Force) is responsible for investigating and if necessary, addressing any environmental contamination caused by the Air Force while operating Wurtsmith and has invested in over $85 million in cleanup actions.
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) became aware of PFAS concentrations in groundwater in March 2010 when EGLE staff performed sampling at a former fire training area on the former base. decommissioned United States Air Forcebase in Iosco County, Michigan. Near Lake Huron, it operated for seventy years, from 1923 until decommissioned in 1993. On January 18, 1994, Wurtsmith was listed as a Superfund site, due to extensive groundwater contamination with heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds, including trichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, and vinyl chloride. In 2010, Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances contamination
was discovered, and as of 2022 remediation is still ongoing.

OSCODA, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Questions and speculation over why Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) trucks rolled into Michigan over the past few days swirled on social media. However, the government entity said the visit to an Oscoda-Wurthsmith Air Force Base stemmed from an assessment of possible staging sites for future disasters.
FEMA’s response after an Oct. 28 Oscoda Township board meeting where township supervisor Bill Palmer said FEMA had chosen the airport as a “stationing hub for emergency services” and mentioned the possibility of 350 trailers being parked on the site.
FEMA called the situation a “misunderstanding” and said it has no plans to set up equipment at the decommissioned air force base.
State Senator Michele Hoitenga (R) also reached out to authorities which confirmed the same information.

Receiving lots of inquiries about a social media post that has gone viral regarding FEMA trucks in our district, specifically Iosco County. After personally speaking with many who have first hand knowledge, I find this statement from the county controller, Jamie Carruthers Soboleski, to be consistent with the same information I have received.
“FEMA did visit the air force base recently and met with Iosco county emergency
The concerns are not without merit. They come within days of FEMA supervisor being fired telling staff helping hurricane survivors to skip houses displaying signs supporting Donald Trump.

Death toll rises after American Airlines plane crashed into Black Hawk as rescue diver reveals underwater 'horrors'
18:36 EST 02 Feb 2025, updated 19:06 EST 02 Feb 2025By MELISSA KOENIG FOR DAILYMAIL.COM and ASSOCIATED PRESS
A dozen more victims of the deadly American Airlines and Black Hawk helicopter crash have been identified, as rescue divers detailed the 'horrors' they saw as they tried to salvage the remains.
Washington DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly announced Sunday evening that 55 of the 67 victims of America's deadliest crash since 2001 have been identified - an increase from the 42 that were previously identified.
Authorities will now continue to scour the Potomac River for the remains of every other person onboard Flight 5342 Wednesday night, which included entire families, young ice skaters, a college student and all four crew members.
Donnelly said he believes crew members will eventually recover the remains of the 12 other victims of the doomed flight, but they are unsure where the bodies may be, NBC News reports.
'If we knew where they were, though, we would already have taken them out,' he insisted. 'So we have some work to do as this salvage operation goes on, and we will absolutely stay here and search until such point as we have everybody.'
'Reuniting those lost in this tragic incident is really what keeps us all going,' Col. Francis B. Pera of the Army Corps of Engineers added.
Crew members are also scheduled to undertake a 'lifting operation' on Monday to remove the wreckage from the river.
Portions of the aircraft will then be loaded onto flatbed trucks and taken to a hangar for further investigation.
More than 300 responders are taking part in the recovery effort at any given time, officials said. Two Navy salvage barges were also deployed to lift heavy wreckage.
But the recovery efforts have proved to be challenging thus far, as Donnelly confirmed that a diver with the Metropolitan Police Department had to be transported to a local hospital for hypothermia.
He has since checked himself out of the hospital.
'We're happy to report that he's doing fine, and that's the only injury we have today,' the chief reported.
An unidentified firefighter working the scene, however, told reporter Brian Entin he and others are 'emotionally wiped out after seeing the horror up close.'
The firefighter explained that the water is 'actually very clear' and with their flashlights, 'they saw horrible things when they arrived.'
Meanwhile, family members of the victims gathered at the crash site on Sunday as they awaited news about their loved ones.
Dozens of people were seen arriving in 10 charger buses - with a police escort - to the banks of the Potomac River just outside Reagan National Airport, where the plane went down just before 9pm.
'Some wanted to give us hugs. Some are just mad and angry,' National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman said of the grieving families.
'They are just all hurt. And they still want answers, and we want to give them answers.
It has since been revealed that the Black Hawk helicopter it collided into may have been flying hundreds of feet outside air traffic control's predesignated, approved route for the international airport, just outside of the nation's capitol.
The Black Hawk was supposed to be following 'Route 4' - a known path at Reagan National that allows helicopters to fly at altitudes below 200 feet to avoid commercial jets arriving at the Virginia airport - sources told The New York Times.
However, the military aircraft - which was marked as a PAT-25 - was flying above 300 feet and was at least a half-mile off course when it collided with American Airlines Flight 5342 on Wednesday evening, killing everyone onboard.
An experienced air traffic controller exclusively told DailyMail.com that the air traffic control (ATC) audio that emerged from the crash showed the operator's instructions to the helicopter were 'very ambiguous.'
In the nearly minute-and-a-half recording, ATC operators could be heard asking the helicopter if the commercial flight is in sight.
Through muffled audio, more commands and confirmations were made between ATC operators.
One air traffic controller said to the helicopter pilot: 'PAT 2-5, do you have the CRJ in sight?'
Seconds later, the controller spoke again, requesting: 'Pat 2-5 pass behind the CRJ.'
The Black Hawk never responded and moments later, the two aircrafts would collide in a fiery explosion over the river.
Five current and former controllers told The Times the controller should have instructed both aircrafts to fly away from each other rather than just asking one to move from the other.
However, they recognized that it's harder to gauge distance at night and some wondered if the Black Hawk had mistaken a different plane in the busy airspace as AA 5342.
In addition, sources told The Times only one controller was dealing with both commercial planes and helicopters after one employee was sent home.
It is normal for one person to be in charge of both post-9:30 pm as airport traffic significantly decreases. However, the crash happened before 9 pm.
A preliminary FAA report, obtained by The Times, states that Reagan's control tower staffing was 'not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic.'
When contacted by DailyMail.com, the FAA said it 'cannot comment on any aspect of open investigations' and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) - which is leading the investigation - will provide updates when it can.
Federal investigators are now working around the clock to piece together exactly what went wrong.
'This is a complex investigation,' investigator-in-charge Brice Banning said. 'There are a lot of pieces here. Our team is working hard to gather this data.'
Full investigations from the National Transportation Safety Board typically take at least a year, though investigators hope to have a preliminary report within 30 days.
In the meantime, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posed a series of questions about the crash on morning television news programs Sunday.
'What was happening inside the towers? Were they understaffed?' he asked on CNN.
'The position of the Black Hawk, the elevation of the Black Hawk, were the pilots of the Black Hawk wearing night vision goggles?'
Then on Fox News, Duffy announced that the Federal Aviation Administration was looking into staffing at the control tower.
'Staffing shortages for air traffic control has been a major problem for years and years,' he lamented, as he promised that President Donald Trump’s administration would address shortages with 'bright, smart, brilliant people in towers controlling airspace.'
Wednesday’s crash was the deadliest in the U.S. since November 12, 2001In the aftermath of the crash, the FAA heavily restricted helicopter traffic around Reagan National, hours after Trump repeated the claims that the Army helicopter was flying higher than allowed.
'It was far above the 200-foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???' he wrote on his Truth Social platform.
Wednesday’s crash was the deadliest in the U.S. since November 12, 2001, when a jet slammed into a residential neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens, just after takeoff from Kennedy Airport.
The crash killed all 260 people on board and five people on the ground.
Experts regularly highlight that plane travel is overwhelmingly safe, but the crowded airspace around Reagan National can challenge even the most experienced pilots.

The Washington Post reported that Flight 4514, which was a twin-engine Embraer ERJ 175, departed Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, at 6:50 p.m. on Tuesday before heading south along the Potomac River corridor toward its planned destination, Reagan National Airport.

Just before it neared Memorial Bridge, however, a male voice from the cockpit alerted the tower that they had to "go around." The aircraft then made a sharp turn to the west, a flight tracker map shows.
The map also shows an unidentified aircraft directly under Flight 4514 near the Potomac River that was directly in the path of the latter as it attempted to make its descent into Reagan National. The plane ultimately made a loop before making a second approach and landing safely at 8:16 p.m., flight records indicate.
Recorded audio from the cockpit of that flight, Republic Airways Flight 4514, features a female voice stating at approximately 8:05 p.m. EST on Tuesday, "We had an RA with a helicopter traffic below us." RA is the code for an automated emergency alert, called a resolution advisory, received by pilots when their aircraft is at risk of collision with a nearby aircraft.
Just over 24 hours later, American Airlines Flight AA5342 collided with a U.S. military Black Hawk Sikorsky chopper as it made its descent into Reagan National after traveling from Wichita, Kansas, at 8:48 p.m. on Wednesday.
Both aircraft erupted into a fireball before plummeting into the freezing Potomac River below, presumably killing the 67 individuals aboard the aircraft. As of Thursday afternoon, 28 bodies had been pulled from the icy waters — 27 from the plane and one from the helicopter. silent at the time, and multiple attempts by the air traffic control tower to reach the HELICOPTER (the suicide Mission Was accomplished to destroy others and them)
President Donald Trump was quick to lob conspiracy theories at the American public regarding the crash as he sought to place the blame on a number of people and even some concepts. He blamed the pilots of each aircraft, the air traffic control tower personnel, the Biden administration (which had no role whatsoever in the Wednesday night incident, as the Trump administration took power on Jan. 20), and the entire concept of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), stating that he doesn't believe the crash would have happened if DEI hadn't been a factor. (There is no evidence that it was, nor could it logically become a factor.)

According to the report, there were five controllers and one trainee controller on duty Wednesday night. There was also one supervisor and one supervisor-in-training.
It is not clear from the report how many people would typically be on duty for such a shift.
The report said the helicopter position “is normally staffed” from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. but “can be consolidated at the discretion” of the supervisor on duty. The roles of flight data controller and clearance delivery controller had also been combined, according to the report.

FAA Academy in Oklahoma struggled to fill classrooms due to DEI quotas, Sen. Mullin says
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., told "Fox News Live" Saturday that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Academy in Oklahoma has struggled to fill classrooms due to DEI quotas.
"Where the FAA air traffic controllers get trained is right here inside of Oklahoma, in Oklahoma City," Mullin said. "That's their training hub and I will tell you we were having a hard time filling the classes because of DEI."
Flight safety has become a topic of debate this week after an American Airlines plane and an Army helicopter collided outside Reagan National Airport on Wednesday. Two days later on Friday, a medical jet crashed on a street near the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Mullin argued that DEI may have played a role in the lack of safety preparedness, especially following the crash outside Reagan National Airport. He said that focusing on hiring "the best and brightest individuals" is a far more dependable strategy than focusing on "diversity, equity and inclusion" policies.
At the FAA academy in Oklahoma City, DEI policies resulted in classes not being used to capacity to fulfill DEI quotas, Mullin said.
"Instead of these classes being 100% full, we were at 80% or 70%, and it wasn't from the lack of individuals applying for it except for each class had a ratio that they had to have on it," the senator said.
TRUMP DOD CREATES TASK FORCE TO ABOLISH DEI OFFICES THAT 'PROMOTE SYSTEMIC RACISM'
Mullin praised President Donald Trump for taking a strong stance against DEI upon taking office.
"President Trump is absolutely correct," Mullin said. "When you're not hiring people based on merit and expertise; you're hiring them based on diversity, equity and inclusion, then that has a huge problem moving forward for us."
The FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Blackhawk Flies Into
American Airlines flight 5342 Path with 67 People Over the Potomac River
Let’s be clear. When I first saw footage of the air wreck in the occurrence it looked like the Blackhawk helicopter was gunning it for the American Airlines commercial flight. Reports have surfaced about a Blackhawk helicopter 24 hours prior to flight disaster.
What people do for power. Does Anyone Really Believe the Blackhawk Helicopter was training to rescue President Trump in a training mission? It seems by the record that the opposite is true. These DEI’s hired by Biden-Harris are and were trained to target Trump and all Americans especially those who love YHWH and their country.
…Chilling statement of reporter shortly after the head on flight crash said, “The Blackhawk wasn’t supposed to hit the jet it was supposed to hit the commuter plane!”
‘Black box’ from helicopter involved in Washington plane crash recovered
Oliver Milman, Anna Betts, Lois Beckett and agencies
The National Transportation Safety Board has recovered the flight “black box” from the US military Black Hawk helicopter involved in Wednesday’s deadly crash with a commercial airliner, and it appears to be undamaged, NTSB member Todd Inman said Friday.
The black box – containing a flight data and cockpit voice recorder – was “in good condition” despite its accident with an American Airlines jet in Washington DC, Inman said. But, he said, the NTSB would not be releasing information from the device immediately as investigations into the crash that killed 67 people aboard both aircraft continued.
Recorders for the passenger plane were recovered Thursday night. The plane’s data recorder was “in good condition”, but the cockpit voice recorder “had water intrusion”, a problem investigators are now dealing with, Inman said.
All 64 people on the passenger plane, along with the three people in the army helicopter, died on Wednesday night after the two aircraft collided in midair close to the Reagan National airport. The bodies of more than 40 people had been recovered from the icy Potomac River, where the wreckage now lies. Most of those recovered victims had been identified, though work was still continuing to identify others.
The US transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, confirmed that the Federal Aviation Administration would immediately restrict helicopter traffic around the Reagan airport, saying the decision would ensure “the safety of airplane and helicopter traffic”.
“The American people deserve full confidence in our aviation system, and today’s action is a significant step towards restoring that,” he said.
Emergency medical helicopters as well as those actively working in law enforcement and air defense are exempt from the restrictions. The presidential helicopter Marine One is exempt, too.
There have been claims that the staffing levels in the air traffic control tower, and the congested skies around the capital, played a role in the crash.
In a highly unusual and subjective move, especially at these early stages of a painstaking official accident investigation, the US president weighed in on social media, not just to repeat his statement about the helicopter’s altitude that he made on Thursday, but with his own comments. Trump alleged that the helicopter had been flying above the required height limit in the clear night sky on Wednesday, as the commercial jet was on final approach to land at Reagan.
ABC News aired claims that the Black Hawk had been flying at 400ft, when it should have been at 200ft.
“The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “It was far above the 200 ft limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???”
At the White House press briefing, the press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, backed up the president, saying he simply stated that “the helicopter was flying higher than it should have been, which is one of the reasons that led to this collision. And the other reasons for that are still being investigated.”
In the wake of the disaster, Trump has also implied, without any evidence, that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in aviation administration and air traffic control under previous Democratic administrations contributed to the crash.
“It doesn’t matter what they look like, how they speak, who they are,” Trump said on Thursday about air traffic controllers. “They have to be talented, naturally talented. Geniuses. Can’t have regular people doing their job.”
The president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, Nick Daniels, said he stood behind “every highly skilled, highly trained air traffic controller that is out there”.
In an interview with CBS News, Daniels outlined the many tests and trainings required for the job, and said: “It doesn’t matter their race, color, religion, you can know you are in the best hands that take that responsibility very seriously every day.”
Investigators have pointed out that the causes of the crash and any potential lessons from it are still to be determined. Previously, reports abounded from anonymous sources in government that double the number of air traffic controllers should have been dealing with guiding aircraft that night.
Todd Inman, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, told ABC’s Good Morning America that “we don’t have determination” yet as to whether staffing levels contributed to the crash.
“The only conclusion I know is we met with several hundred family members who lost their loved ones in the Potomac. We don’t need that to happen any more,” he said, choking up as he spoke on air.
The Illinois representative JesΓΊs GarcΓa, a Democrat who sits on the House subcommittee on aviation, accused Trump in an interview with CNN of “exploiting disaster to continue to spread racist lies and divisiveness across the country, simply to score political points with his base”.
He added: “We don’t know what occurred and whether it was human error that caused this flight or other factors.”
Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, also a Democrat, criticized Trump’s remarks, too, including the comment Trump made when asked by the media whether he would visit the site of the crash. The president said: “You want me to go swimming?”
Moore said: “When this country needed comfort, we got chaos. When this country needed healing, we got hatred.”
An initial FAA report obtained by US media organisations said staffing levels were “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic” before a military helicopter collided with a passenger jet in the heart of Washington DC.
According to the report, the separate roles of coordinating helicopter traffic and arriving and departing planes had been combined when the collision happened, the Associated Press reported. But it further reported a source saying staffing had been normal. The Washington Post said two people had been handling the jobs of four inside the control tower.
The helicopter and the passenger plane had been flying in a “standard flight pattern” on a clear night before the crash, Duffy said.
The US army had an increase in very serious aviation incidents during the last fiscal year, with 15 flight and two ground incidents that resulted in deaths of service members, destruction of aircraft or more than $2.5m in damage to the airframe, the Associated Press reported.
