FAA restricts helicopter flights near Washington airport in response to crash

Federal authorities restricted helicopter flights near Washington, DC's Reagan Washington National Airport indefinitely on Friday, two days after a midair collision between a passenger jet trying to land there and a military helicopter killed 67 people.

Report informs via Reuters that the Federal Aviation Administration took the action to take away the threat of another collision as crews worked to pull the wreckage of America's deadliest air disaster in two decades from the Potomac River.
