NTSB to hold hearing into fatal American Airlines collision with Army helicopter

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a three-day investigative hearing into the Jan. 29 collision of a Black Hawk helicopter with an American Airlines passenger jet near Reagan Washington National Airport killing 67 people, the board's chair said Tuesday.

The hearing will be held from July 30-Aug. 1 at the board's headquarters, said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. She said the hearing is critical to the board's safety investigation. "It's meant to get additional evidence in order to complete our investigation," she said.
