NTSB links White House construction to Marine One safety incident

The NTSB's preliminary report says Marine One departed from a temporary Ellipse location due to White House construction, which led to radio communication issues with air traffic control and a brief loss of separation with a commercial jet at Reagan National Airport; air traffic controllers did not stop commercial flights during the takeoff. The White House maintains the president was never in danger, and the investigation is ongoing.

NTSB finds long-standing comms gaps before Marine One takeoff at Reagan

A National Transportation Safety Board report ties decades of FAA–military communication gaps to safety risks around Marine One’s Reagan National takeoff, noting a years-long hotline outage to the Pentagon, radios moved to the Reagan tower to fix line-of-sight issues, and prior controller warnings about comms problems ahead of the incident.

Missouri skydiving plane crash leaves 12 dead as investigators probe cause

Twelve people were killed when a Pacific Aerospace 750XL skydiving plane crashed in Missouri. The aircraft had completed nine flights over the weekend, including two on Sunday, before going down as investigators seek the cause. Federal agencies have long flagged oversight, maintenance, and training for skydiving flights, and the FAA has convened a committee to study safety improvements. The skydiving industry says participants follow FAA rules and notes that last year’s roughly 3.5 million jumps produced 16 civilian fatalities, most from human error.

"FBI Launches Criminal Investigation into Baltimore Bridge Collapse and Missing Barge Incident"

The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, focusing on the events leading up to the Dali ship's collision with the bridge and whether the crew was aware of any issues. The National Transportation Safety Board is also conducting its own investigation. The bridge collapse resulted in six deaths and forced the closure of the port of Baltimore, with officials working to reroute port traffic and aiming to reopen at normal capacity by the end of May.
