In the aftermath of a deadly midair collision, more victims have been recovered as investigators work tirelessly to uncover the circumstances that led to this tragic event. The NTSB is confident in the data retrieved from the black boxes, which will hopefully shed light on what went wrong.
One key issue that has emerged in the wake of the crash is air traffic control staffing. Questions are being raised about whether there were enough controllers on duty at the time of the collision, and how this may have contributed to the tragic outcome.
The devastating loss of lives in the midair crash has left communities in mourning. Families, friends, and colleagues are grappling with the heartbreak of losing loved ones in such a sudden and senseless tragedy.
In addition to the midair collision, videos have surfaced showing a fiery air ambulance crash in Northeast Philadelphia, adding to the somber mood and highlighting the dangers that come with aviation.
On a different note, President Trump’s tariff plan is set to take effect against China, Canada, and Mexico, further escalating tensions in global trade. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s attempts to take control of the Panama Canal are met with defiance from Panama.
Closer to home, the Boston skating club is mourning the loss of members who were killed in the midair collision. The tight-knit community is coming together to support each other during this difficult time.
As details continue to emerge and investigations unfold, the impact of the deadly midair collision is being felt far and wide. Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy as they navigate through the grief and loss.

Rip to our beautiful young skaters and so sad for their family’s
God bless to yall that have lost your lives?!! Why why?!
Peace is possible.
That's old lady who thinks she's a journalist is really a traitor to America. We've got satellite pictures showing China operating the front of the canal and the back of the canal. But all she has is TBS Trump durane syndrome
how can I sleep knowing these are falling out of sky killing us. ban these fake jobs that are eating our dogs.
The mid-air crash at the eve of tariffs on Canada and Mexico seems like a bad omen!…
My condolences to all the families and friends. Rip🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I am shocked!!! Nbc has a real reporter tom costelo. I hope this is not a one off for Mr. Costello
Both Canada and Mexico can avoid the tariffs by tightening up their borders. That will stop the flow of human and drug trafficking into the United States, and that’s exactly what President Trump is demanding.
I'm a Deist. That's the only sense I can make of it.
Wake up! There is way too much air traffic, this will become more frequent, planes, helicopters, drones, air taxis, private airplanes, rockets, space shuttles on and on, when they show all the airplane traffic over
a map of the US, you can’t even see the country. This is a problem.
Local👮 CORUPT🤑 Government💩 in Wisconsin Dells Wisconsin headed out the door 😅🥳🤗
Good reporting nbc fair impartial ty
Unfortunate. Looks like private flight transferred cash . Using child. Cartel. Eat that
Panama might operate the canal, but two Chinese contractors, with connections to China, are providing some services. In essence, a Communist country has some access to the canal's operations. The Panamanians are a bit naive in allowing this to happen, allowing possible foreign agents access to canal operations.
Biden used dei so the guy interviewed lied. Non SELECTED peoople with better skills are SUING FOR DISCRIMINATION BY DEI DEMOCRAT LUNATICS
You bring back pharmacticals. By making it in america by americans.
Weakest link in all of this crash situation is our commander in chief. He gotta go !
Trump’s DEI initiatives wreaking havoc years after.
You come on acting like you have an update and you don’t.
Just so we are all clear… If America wants the Panama canal back; it could easily take it back one way or another…
I just resubscribed because of your fairness i feel most stations are unfair to trump but I see your station bro g more fair Ty 😊
Tariffs are bad for the economy. Everything that Tantrump does is wrong.
It doesn’t matter how well you train someone, if there is a shortage of the staff, there always and everywhere !will be problems and humans mistakes under the stress !!! ( the background checks, medical checks , etc,
will Not help to solve the problem! )
Thank God we can still regularly see Andrea Mitchell's face in America.
Rip and hood bless the beatiful skaters and family
Can't blame the pilots they are white so now they are hoping the controllers are black or female or another minorities. We are all humans and we ALL make mistakes, too bad this one cost the lost of life. Rest in peace and comfort to their loved ones.
Another plane crash!!! Why. Why. Oh no. Then, i can't believe for so many years, how understaff the control tower is. There's something wrong here!!! I believe, there should be a back up of about 500 control tower agents on stand by, when the staff level falls!!! A fine should be imposed on the staffing manager or director when this is not followed!!! I believe A ROBOT SHOULD BE BUILT FOR EVERY CONTROL TOWER TO HELP ASSIST when staffing has fallen, or can't be met.
It's unacceptable that people in this field let their guard down. When at any moment, we could be in distress. An emergency should be declared today to lift staffing levels. If not, were in trouble. Really!!!!!!
Why the heck are helicopters flying in the same area commercial planes are landing anyway? That doesn't make any sense.
Hearing the overviews was enough news for me. PRAY
Don't imagine that supervisor has their job any longer.
You know, a plane is a pretty big thing. It would appear that the "copter" flew right into the plane, how could the pilot not see a big plane?
Do we have to worry and be concerned about automatic and drones flights endangering passengers lives in the air ??? With all these vehicels driven themselves around the city, airplanes can do so too, I imagine. Too many crashes incidents in the air seems weird and add. Helicopter crashing into an airplain and now another one crashes into a Mall in another State? Weird indeed.
I don't know if it was a good idea to have one air traffic controller managing both commercial airlines and helicopter traffic by themselves. Having worked for the Federal Government for over 25 years, I can honestly tell you that doing more with less doesn't give you the best results.
…air traffic controllers often work 10 hour shifts in what is considered the most stressful and demanding occupation in the world. he standards are incredibly high the training rigorous and about one third of students wash out of the programme before completion. In spite of this there is no "corner cutting" or any "quotas". to accelerate getting people into towers and en-route control facilities.
It'snot like making burgers and french fries.
