Senator Kaine recites Army helicopter, aviation contributing factors to Reagan Airport collision at hearing with top Army leadership

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine says at an annual posture hearing by the Senate Armed Services Committee with Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll and Chief of Staff Randy George referring to a fatal midair collision months earlier over the Potomac River that there were flaws on the Army side with broadcasting equipment on a Black Hawk not being turned on during flight and problems with routes in congested airspace, while serious problems existed on air traffic control side with shortage of personnel and hundreds of near misses between helicopters and passenger jets logged with the FAA taking no action.
