Negligence in the skies? The first major lawsuit has been filed in response to January's deadly plane crash near Ronald Reagan Airport, targeting American Airlines, PSA Airlines, the FAA, and the U.S. Army. The family of victim Casey Crafton alleges the crash, which killed all 67 on board American Eagle Flight 5342 after it collided with an Army helicopter, was preventable. The suit claims authorities knew of dangerous conditions, including thousands of near misses and inadequate pilot training regarding helicopter routes, yet failed to act. With more families expected to file suit, this case could expose systemic neglect and force critical safety changes.
