Key senators and the families of the 67 people killed in a mid-air collision near Washington, D.C., say the tragedy may have been preventable.
Aviation experts have long recommended advanced aircraft locator systems that allow pilots to track nearby air traffic in real time, improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of crashes.
The Senate Commerce Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing today to examine whether the technology should be required on aircraft operating around the nation’s busiest airports.
