CBS News congressional correspondent Caitlin Huey Burns joins us from Reagan National Airport where one aircraft was heading toward before this mid air collision.

Caitlin : Key question for investigators and quite frankly, for lawmakers on Capitol Hill . How could this have been prevented? Errol : Congress has a vested interest to get to the bottom of how such a routine flight for both the chopper and the jet could have resulted in a mid air.

Huey Burns : A lot of questions about oversight here, questions about communication.

He says top of mind are those family members who have lost loved ones.

Burns: We heard from the transportation secretary that all of this was very routine, that you have military aircraft operating around DC , around this airport quite frequently. You have a landing pattern.
