Story summary
  • The Alert Act faces a U.S. House vote to address lessons from the January 29, 2025 collision between an American Airlines jet and a Black Hawk helicopter.
  • The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) supports the bill and requires locator systems for aircraft near busy airports.
  • The crash was the deadliest on U.S. soil since 2001, with 67 victims including 28 figure skaters, and some say the bill should be strengthened.
