Retired commercial airline pilot Scott Pattillo and aviation attorney Michael Pearson explain why control systems are at a 'breaking point' on 'The Ingraham Angle.'

Listen to the air traffic control at Ronald Reagan National Airport speak to the Army helicopter pilots shortly before the deadly crash.

Less than 30 seconds before the crash, an air traffic controller asks the helicopter if it has the arriving plane in sight: “PAT-25, do you have the CRJ in sight?”

Air traffic control received no response from a military Black Hawk helicopter seconds before colliding with an American Airlines flight from Wichita to Washington, D.C.

Amid increased concerns about aviation safety, here's how many air traffic controllers there are in the U.S., and how the hiring process works.

The ABC7 I-Team has been reporting on air traffic controller staffing issues for years, and Wednesday night's tragic plane crash near Reagan National Airport has highlighted the ongoing issue.

The staffing at the air control tower at Reagan National Airport was "not normal" when an American Airlines plane and Army helicopter collided on Wednesday night, a report shows.

Just miles away from San Francisco International Airport, the air traffic control tower at the smaller San Carlos Airport is set to go dark this Saturday.

On Wednesday night a passenger jet collided with a helicopter in Washington DC with all passengers and crew on both aircraft feared dead — but how did it happen?

Some in the aviation industry gave insight on what may have happened with the aircraft in the crash in Washington D.C. on Wednesday night.
