Retired commercial airline pilot Scott Pattillo and aviation attorney Michael Pearson explain why control systems are at a 'breaking point' on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Less than 30 seconds before the crash, an air traffic controller asks the helicopter if it has the arriving plane in sight: “PAT-25, do you have the CRJ in sight?”

Air traffic control received no response from a military Black Hawk helicopter seconds before colliding with an American Airlines flight from Wichita to Washington, D.C.

Listen to the air traffic control at Ronald Reagan National Airport speak to the Army helicopter pilots shortly before the deadly crash.

Amid increased concerns about aviation safety, here's how many air traffic controllers there are in the U.S., and how the hiring process works.

The ABC7 I-Team has been reporting on air traffic controller staffing issues for years, and Wednesday night's tragic plane crash near Reagan National Airport has highlighted the ongoing issue.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an ex-Army Black Hawk pilot, said communications between airline and military pilots usually go through air traffic control.

The staffing at the air control tower at Reagan National Airport was "not normal" when an American Airlines plane and Army helicopter collided on Wednesday night, a report shows.

The names of some of the plane crash victims have started to emerge overnight, including a 12-year-old figure skater and a university professor. Meanwhile, black boxes have been recovered from the airliner and tests are being carried out in a laboratory.

An FAA report has stated that one air traffic control officer was doing the job of two people at Reagan National Airport when a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter, killing 67 people

All aircraft are equipped with TCAS (traffic collision avoidance system) as standard ever since the deadly Chakri-Dadri mid-air collision near New Delhi in 1996.
