About this listen

In late January of last year, an American Eagle flight and a U.S. Army helicopter collided above the Potomac River, killing everyone aboard both aircraft. It was the deadliest flight disaster in the U.S. in decades.

A year later, families and first responders are reflecting on their enduring sorrow.

Local public safety reporter Emma Uber reads her story that recounts how loved ones left behind are processing the anniversary and finding solace in the keepsakes first-responders were able to recover after the crash.

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter.
