National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Jennifer Homendy lays out frightening statistics about near misses.

In just over three years , she says, there were 85 close calls when a few feet in the wrong direction could have resulted in the same kind of accident that happened on Jan. 29 .

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says he'll adopt the NTSB ’s recommendations for the route where the midair collision occurred.

The Army has said the Black Hawk crew was highly experienced, and accustomed to the crowded skies around the nation’s capital.

The NTSB in its ongoing investigation will look at the amount of traffic at Reagan and the staffing in the control tower to determine if either of those factors played a role in the collision.

It will take more than a year to get the final NTSB report.
