A midair collision between an Army helicopter and a passenger jet killed all 67 people aboard the two aircraft, officials said, as they search for answers in the nation's deadliest aviation disaster in nearly 25 years.
Since the beginning of 2025, at least 143 people have died in 36 U.S. aviation incidents.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, preliminary reports are expected within 30 days from the date of each accident.
The preliminary report will contain factual information gathered during the initial phase of the investigation. A probable cause of each crash and any contributing factors will come in the final reports, which are expected in 12 to 24 months from the date of the accident.
