FAA Investigates Second Near-Collision at Reagan National Airport
TL;DR
A near-collision between an American Airlines plane and a private aircraft at Reagan National Airport has prompted an FAA investigation. The incident, which follows a similar close call last month, has led U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine to criticize a federal bill that would increase flights at the already congested airport. The American Airlines flight was aborted and later took off safely, with no injuries reported.
