you from this briefing. yeah, i agree with a lot of david's points there. i want to speak kind of to the operations right now that, you know, as two runways remain closed, runway four, two, two and 3315, that it will take some time to get the airport back to normal operations and normal capacity with those runways closed and being used in the recovery efforts as well, it may cause some arrival delays into d.c. as we move forward. but this this recovery effort is going to take some time. this is a meticulous, um, time for the the efforts of the personnel working through these very difficult situations to to be able to, um, to get through the recovery period and, um, that, that is going to take some time to do. david, one thing that stood out to me during this press briefing, there were a lot of questions about the airspace around dca and just how busy it is, how

much activity there is going on, and how that presents potentially a challenge to keep track of all the moving parts around that area. and the vice president of the airport was trying to clarify that the purview of the airport is essentially what is on the ground that the faa regulates the actual airspace itself. when you think about how this effort to figure out what happened moves forward, what do you think it would look like for the faa and officials at dca to reconsider how, uh, a number of things move about that airspace, whether it's commercial flights, private flights, uh, army or military aircraft, and then obviously drones and other things. how do they go about negotiating that question well, there really is no negotiation. >> the faa controls the airspace, period around the

globe, around the entire united states. so anything above above your head belongs to the faa? uh, there's no question about that. so what that tells me then is, i think one of the guests or one of the people on the news there were asking, where does the buck stop? who's responsible? the faa is responsible. they're responsible for the regulations that keep our airspace safe. the ntsb is responsible for determining what causes the accident, what the proximate cause is from the people, the machines and the environment. and then at that point, that goes to a recommendation to the faa. my question the big question i have right now is once those recommendations come forth and i have no i have all all the confidence in the ntsb to come up with meaningful, meaningful recommendations. what my concern is we have a brand new faa administrator. we have a brand new department of transportation secretary. so those are the two people who will have to support the faa and say, yes, we will

stand behind you and we will make sure that you are empowered to make those decisions, such as restricting these airplanes from coming in and out. um, chad had mentioned, you know, maybe it will take a while to get it back to normal. i hope it doesn't. i hope it never gets back to normal. in fact, this airport should have been closed when dulles was built in 1964. >> yeah. and look, the fact is, those of us who live in washington, d.c., we love how close dca is, because you can be there in 15 minutes and you can fly out if you are trying to get somewhere you frequently want to go to dca. it makes your commute. you get home to your kids a lot faster. you get home to your dog a lot faster. but chad, what we saw in this press conference too was this tension about how many flights there are because and you even had a question teed up for the airport official and he wasn't swinging at it. about you have taken the position that there shouldn't be more flights, even as we have seen lawmakers lobby for there to be more flights. just explain to people who are not familiar

with this airport, this this runway that was being used was kind of the it's sort of the it's like the extra side runway. it's a smaller one that regional jets can use. and this airplane had been asked to swing around. but it's not it's not the main runway that might have provided a less complicated situation here. >> sure. that runway is a crosswind runway for the airport. it is not the primary north south runway. it is, uh, normal operations for those type of aircraft to use that runway. sometimes that's requested by air traffic control for aircraft to use runway three three if they're trying to have an aircraft depart runway one. so air traffic control may request that sometimes pilots request that runway. and i think, um, everything should be scrutinized. and that's what happens in the in the period of an investigation that we review

procedures, we review, um, rules, we review, uh, policy and, and we we should scrutinize every piece of this to make travel safer in and out of this airport. and certainly reviewing number of flights, operation of flights. um, but right now operations are out of the airport. i agree with this. pause that's occurred at the airport as far as helicopter operations, that, uh, as we go through this review period that we do a stand down on those operations and we determine how to make the airspace safer, that is the goal of the faa. that is their mission. that is the mission of pilot flying is safe operations of their airplanes. but scrutiny, scrutiny of of all of this, these processes and, um, and everything airspace around the airport should be done at this point as we we

determine the the why and the cause of this accident to ensure that this is not going to happen again. >> david soucie chad kendall, thank you so much. really interesting to see if that capacity of this airport perhaps remains this way indefinitely reduced. we're also following, and i do want to mention, as you're looking there at pictures, we saw some activity on the potomac, but we're also following some breaking news out of the department of justice and reports of a coming purge. there are dozens of fbi agents who investigated the january 6th insurrection and other trump related cases, and they are expected to be fired today, according to sources who have been briefed on the matter. >> for years, trump has falsely accused agents of abuse for the way they carried out a court ordered search of his mar-a-lago property, and he's long vowed retribution despite failing to prove any wrongdoing. cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez broke this reporting. evan, what are you learning? >> us? >> well. >> boris, this is an. extension

of a purge that began last week. within minutes. >> after the new interim leaders of the justice department arrived. some of the career folks started getting emails advising them that they were being reassigned. and so what we now know is that this this has now extended across the street from the justice department headquarters to the fbi. and so we reported yesterday on a number of leaders who were advised that they were being they were being told to either retire or resign or be fired by monday. and so now they've gone down to the agents, some of the agents who worked on the mar-a-lago investigation, the january 6th investigation that is now the focus. we're talking about dozens of agents who could be affected by this. and we we our understanding is that this is being done today. by the end of today, these folks will be notified. now, what's notable here, obviously, is that these are not the lawyers and some of the people that donald trump has mostly focused his ire. a lot of this we're talking about now are

agents who really don't have a choice about the about the cases that they're assigned. right. and the people who carried out the agents who carried out the search at mar-a-lago a couple of years ago, you know, they were acting under a court order from a judge and under the supervision of the lawyers. so that's one of the reasons why, you see, certainly the pushback from fbi agents and from the fbi agents association, which says that this is an outrageous action by some of the interim leadership. keep in mind, pamela bondi, who is the nominee for the attorney general, she hasn't gotten her final vote in the senate. we expect that that could happen next week in the coming days. so she is not there yet. right now, we're having acting officials at the justice department who are carrying out this this purge. again, it began with some of the lawyers across the street at the justice department and now has expanded to include some of the line agents, people like on the lower levels, who simply have no

choice in the assignments that they're given. now, one of the things we should keep in mind is that, you know, you're talking about agents who are working cases right now, and so there is going to be impact. are there going to be investigations that are ongoing that might be affected and that might be stopped or paused because of some of the removals of these people? is there a terrorist attack that could be in the works right now that may not be caught? because agents are being affected by this? we'll see if that indeed is what happens. but that is what we we know at this hour. again, this purge expanding across to the fbi. uh, again, dozens of agents that could be affected. >> yeah, even the appearance of it could be a problem. is it legal, evan? i mean, if they have a leg to stand on to pursue a department of labor dispute or ultimately a lawsuit is that it's just we should note that for federal employees, they do have recourse. just like employees in in private

companies. >> right, exactly. there are recourses and and we expect that certainly the agents that are affected. we know agents, especially if they're if their pensions are being taken away, that is certainly a reason for you to file a lawsuit. we expect that the agents association will be very, very much affected by this. agents are being told that, you know, again, if they're affected and if they believe they're being wrongly targeted, that they should take all the recourses, which includes, of course, seeking to suing the federal government for being removed, because at this point, what we're what agents were being told is what we've heard career officials are being told in the last few days, which is that the president believes that because they were involved in investigations that involved him, that he cannot trust them to carry out his agenda. and so that's the simple reason, you know, talk about weaponization, which is donald trump's campaign promise that he was going to end the weaponization of the justice department. and at the fbi, if you talk to the agents and the and the folks who

are getting who are on the receiving end of this right now, they look at it as a kind of weaponization that is being directed at them. >> evan perez, thank you so much for the reporting. i want to bring in retired fbi supervisory agent steve moore. steve, i wonder what your reaction to this is and whether to evan's point, these agents even had a say in what cases and what investigations they were assigned. >> well, no, you don't have a say generally. >> in what cases you're assigned. i mean, your supervisor assigns them to you, and you don't, you know, you just see what comes on your desk and it's even more haphazard, not haphazard, but it's even more one of a kind situations when you're asked to go on a search warrant. what? or told, um, say, say, i've got a search warrant. this is my case. i've got a search warrant. i can't search a place all by myself, so i'll ask to have 10 or 11

agents, possibly not even on my squad or not even investigating the things that i'm investigating. assigned for a day for that search warrant. they don't, you know, all fbi agents know how to do a search warrant. and so you would have 10 or 11 agents who might not even be working these types of cases. they could be health care fraud people. and they're going to be out on that search. so to target them is if that's what's going to happen here, that's bizarre. and um, and i troubling beyond words. >> steve, if you're someone, you know, you're you're in the rank and file in the fbi. what is the takeaway as you're watching this happen? >> the takeaways are somewhat ironic, seeing as how, um, the field agents probably supported trump. uh, ideologically, maybe not some of the things he did,

but ideologically, there's probably a more conservative base in the fbi agent ranks. and it's ironic that they would be the ones taking the hits for this. um, the other the other thing is, first of all, brianna, the fbi does not have civil service protections. fbi agents. fbi agents are appointed positions. and so they go under the same provisions as, uh, department of justice heads and things like that, where there has to be an investigation. there is a process. and so the agents on the in the field are probably saying, yes, we agree that, you know, that due process has to be ensured, but you can't have due process. you can't have the rule of law being enforced by removing due process. it's at loggerheads. and so it's kind of an irony here that not going through the

procedure, which is going to which is going to make this juicy to go to court, um, is going is just in such conflict with what they say they're trying to achieve. >> so and just real quickly, steve, do they so do they have the same kind of recourse that other federal employees have or. no. >> not the same ones. no. you have recourse. but it's it can be much more arbitrary, much more in the direction of at will employment, uh, as opposed to civil service protections. um, but the fbi has always been careful to, to investigate prior to making statements. and fbi has some good investigators and when and they get rid of agents every year for cause but for for political reasons this is kind of chilling. this is like 1800s south america in some ways. and um, i think the fact that this is being happening, that this is

happening before the new director has even been appointed, um, indicates that no investigations, official investigations have been done. and i understand some people won't trust those. but you got to trust the system or the system isn't your friend. >> wow. steve moore on that note, we'll end the conversation there. thanks so much for sharing your perspective. >> thank you. >> still to come, a groom to be pilot, the daughter of indian immigrants. friends on an annual hunting trip and figure skating champions. we're learning more about those who were lost aboard the american airlines jet and the u.s. army black hawk helicopter that collided over the potomac. their stories in just moments. >> cnn news central, brought to you by viking. exploring the

that tells you a lot, right? working for legal aid. this was someone who was justice minded and worried about severely low income and marginalized folks. that's the kind of life that she lived. she also served as a white house intern under the obama administration, and spent nearly a year in taiwan teaching english through a fulbright program. so just a remarkable story. there's also sara lee best and elizabeth ann keys. they were associates in the same law firm. they're being remembered as cherished members of their community. keys was 33 years old, a cincinnati native, and went on to graduate from tufts university in the boston area. sara lee best is being remembered for her boundless curiosity, kindness and intelligence, and earlier we had the opportunity to hear from keys former principal. let's take a listen. >> she was just such a such an

outstanding student. outstanding young lady. you know, just the kind of person that we need many. >> many more. >> of. >> and this is something that is just sticking with me, boris and brianna, that so many of the people, including all of the figure skaters, they were so young, they were just starting their lives and they lived remarkable lives. and so all that we can do in this moment is really remember them for how they lived. >> eva mckend thanks so much for the update. >> the american airlines plane that crashed left on wednesday from wichita, kansas, a city that calls itself the air capital of the world because of its decades long history of aviation manufacturing. several of the victims of this tragedy were from wichita, or they were from the state of kansas, and their deaths are hitting their communities very hard. we're joined now by reverend jeff gannon. he is the senior pastor at chapel hill united methodist church in wichita. reverend, thank you so much for being with

us. we are so sorry for your community's loss. i know that you have parishioners from your church who knew people on the plane. what can you tell us about how it's impacting your community? >> well, the whole community has been affected. there is a stunned silence, if you will. people are just quiet. you go into a restaurant and there's just a stillness that is that is really. awe invoking. and so the whole community. >> is. >> just in grief and disbelief. >> and we just heard about kiah duggins, a young harvard trained civil rights attorney. she was returning home from visiting her family in wichita. what are you hearing from people who knew her? >> well, i have. >> several parishioners who knew her well and. >> were good friends with her. and so, because it has taken a while for us to. really know who

was on the plane, apart from the skaters, my parishioners are now reaching out to me and expressing their deep loss. as you have already reported so well, miss duggins incredibly bright and talented, and her father is a prominent physician here in town, well respected. so the whole community is feeling that loss, along with grace maxwell, another young woman. so we have many gifted people here in wichita who go on and do great things in our world, in our nation. and so we're all feeling it at a very deep level. >> and i know you recently held a prayer vigil for all of the victims, and a lot of people attended. can you talk to us a little bit about just the role and the importance of faith in times of crisis like this, and how people are sort of gravitating towards each other with that bond?

>> yes. i'm a firm believer, just like post 911, we we need to come together. we need to have opportunity to be united in our grief and in our hope. and so the prayer vigil was an attempt to bring us together all faiths. it was beautifully represented in so many wonderful ways by people of all ages and faith, traditions. and in these moments of crisis, we come together as one people, and it's really a great opportunity for us to put aside our differences. it's an opportunity for us to say we are one in spirit. we are one in love, and we're going to need each other in order to move forward with hope. >> and several members of the skating community were on that plane. they just finished attending the u.s. skating championship, a skating camp in wichita as well. i think a lot of people in d.c. here in

washington are feeling this, because this is where we welcome so many visitors. these were some visitors to your community. i know they're not from wichita, but just that community of bringing people in. and you expect that they're going to come and go safely. tell us about how much their their losses have hurt. >> well, the impact, again, is is deep. it is heartfelt. and the skaters have been known as being incredible human beings. they were respectful. they were kind. they were just incredibly gracious. and so people all over our community have been talking about how deeply they were impacted by these young people from all over the world. >> reverend jeff gannon, thank you for being with us. thank you for helping us keep the focus on the victims here. we know that not far from where i am right now, there are a lot of families

who are grieving, looking for confirmation of their loved ones identities, having really the worst days of their life right now. and we just want them to know that their loved ones are not being forgotten. and that is something we can all do right now. reverend, thank you so much. we'll be right back i lay on my back, frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed. >> dana said. you're still you. and i love you. >> super man. the christopher reeve story sunday at eight on cnn. new boys is now an academy award nominee for best adapted screenplay. >> you can't muster a bigger hug than that. >> and best picture of the year. it's one of the great american movies of the 21st century. nickel boys, rated pg 13, now

>> koby the making of a legend. tomorrow at nine on cnn. >> wall street is clearly signaling its concern, with the dow falling. just as the white house confirmed this afternoon that within the next 24 hours, president trump is set to put in place new tariffs on goods coming into the united states from canada, mexico and china. and that is stoking fears of inflation. and one survey of economists, 95% agree that tariffs will likely mean higher prices for consumers. let's discuss this new data with mark zandi, the chief economist at moody's. mark, thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. these tariffs looming over the weekend, the white house would not give details on whether there would be exceptions for things like oil products. i wonder how you think the markets and consumers are going to be affected by this. well. >> boris. >> it depends.

>> right? it depends on. >> how high the tariffs are. >> which products. >> if there are going. >> to be exemptions or carve. >> outs. >> how long the tariffs will. >> be in place. >> so there's a lot of. >> imponderables which. >> you know highlights one of the problems with tariffs. and that is it creates a lot of uncertainty for businesses and consumers. and you know it's a problem for economic growth. but but it's hard to answer that question because we just literally don't know. i mean we could we could play an experiment. let's say that the president follows through and imposes 25% tariffs on all goods, imported goods from canada and mexico, and 10% on all goods from china. no exemptions. no, you know, carve outs and keeps them in place for a year. then that would add 6 to 7 tenths of a percent to consumer price inflation. so just to make that concrete, instead of, say, inflation being 2% over the next year, it would be 2.6 or 2.7%. but that that's extreme. that's kind of an outside kind of scenario. i

doubt the president has that in mind, but that gives you kind of context. >> this afternoon, in response to the message from the white house, the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, responded saying that if the u.s. moves ahead, quote, canada is ready with a forceful and immediate response. how would a trade war potentially take shape? and specifically, which products coming from mexico and canada, for example, do you think consumers might wind up paying more for? >> yeah. of course. the prime minister trudeau's comments highlight another problem with broad based tariffs. and that is other countries are going to respond. you know, they're going to retaliate just like they did in president trump's first term when he imposed tariffs on china. and that that cost american jobs. it hurts manufacturers who export a lot of product. it hurts farmers and agricultural industries because they export a lot of product. so it, you know, does a lot of damage. the kind of if you look

at what we what we import from canada, mexico, china, it's a wide array of products. you know, it's 35% of all of the imported goods that we bring into the country come from those three countries. those are the big three countries from which we get imports. so it's everything from cars to electronics, furniture, fresh food. you know, we get a lot of avocados and berries and tomatoes from mexico. machine tools, you know, from canada. we get a lot of oil, lumber. so, you know, the cost of home construction is very high. and this would add to it and make it more difficult to afford to buy a home. so just a wide array of products would be affected by the higher tariffs. again, borders, if there are no exemptions and carve outs. >> right. you mentioned the potential for inflation to go up somewhat. obviously it hit a high a few years ago, but it's still sort of a stubborn a stubborn inflation that hasn't gone down as much as the fed

would like. i wonder why you think that is. >> yeah, that's exactly right. you know, it's come way back from where it was and but it's still not back to something that the federal reserve feels comfortable with. that's their so-called 2% inflation target. we got data today for example, that showed inflation was two. 2.6 2.7%. so it's still a bit elevated. you know i think it's a range of things. but a big part of the difference between current inflation and the fed's target is the cost of the growth and the cost of housing. you know, rents have been up and that has kept housing costs up. and that's what's reflected there. but you know inflation remains persistent really. nothing makes americans more anxious than having to pay more for groceries and for rent and for gasoline. and clearly broad based tariffs would add to those that angst and those concerns. >> mark zandi, we have to leave

the conversation there. appreciate your analysis. as always. >> sure. sure thing. >> stay with news central. we'll be right back. >> there are. >> amazing things. >> that are happening all over the world, things that can make our lives better. that's the goal of my podcast to try and find the secrets to a longer and happier and healthier life, and then we bring those secrets to you. listen to chasing life wherever you get your podcast. >> if your cat is feeling the pain of osteoarthritis, it's up to you to read the signs. learn how to spot osteoarthritis pain. learn the signs of osteoarthritis pain at cat red flags.com. >> i don't know where i'd be without qualcomm with mom's diagnosis. suddenly i was both her daughter and caregiver, managing all her needs, including her incontinence. we tried all the store brand adult diapers. they were so expensive and they didn't work. now i buy all mom's incontinence supplies at corelle.com wipes, bed pads, ointments, and adult diapers. i even got 30% off my first order

daughter of israeli-american keith siegel embracing after they just learned that he will be one of three hostages freed tomorrow. according to hamas. the other are french-israeli, ofer kalderon and yarden bibas bibi's long awaited freedom is mixed with deep sorrow. more now from cnn jerusalem correspondent jeremy diamond. >> well, one of. >> seven americans. >> still held. >> hostage in gaza is set to be released tomorrow. keith siegel, a 65 year old who was taken hostage from. >> his. >> home in kibbutz kfar aza, will be released alongside two other israeli hostages. >> his wife. >> aviva siegel. >> who was. >> also taken captive on october 7th. she has. >> relentlessly advocated for. >> his release. >> and both the united states and israel since she was released in that november 2023 ceasefire deal. ofer kalderon is the second hostages set to be released. his two children had been held hostage in gaza and were also released during that november 2023 hostage deal. and

we are also expecting yarden bibas to be released. he is, of course, the father of the two youngest israeli hostages being held captive in gaza. kfir and ariel were just nine months old and four years old when they were taken captive from kibbutz beca a symbol of the brutalityly of that day. hamas claimed that they had been killed in an israeli airstrike alongside their mother, shiri bibas, but the israeli government has never actually confirmed their fate. the fact that yarden bibas is now expected to be released before them, raising serious concerns about their fate. this is a statement from the bibas family saying our yarden is supposed to return tomorrow and we are so excited. but shiri and the children still haven't returned. we have such mixed emotions and we are facing extremely complex days. important to note that last week admiral daniel hagari, the spokesman of the israeli military, said that they were, quote, gravely concerned for the fate of shiri, kfir and ariel.

all eyes will also be on how this hostage release actually unfolds tomorrow. following those chaotic scenes from that release of hostages on thursday in the southern gaza city of khan younis. and now the fate of the rafah crossing depends on that. an israeli official telling us that the rafah crossing will only become fully operational as long as that chaotic hostage release we saw on thursday does not unfold once again. if it does become fully operational. the world health organization says that 50 wounded patients from the gaza strip are set to be medically evacuated through that crossing, the first time that will happen since may of 2024. >> our thanks to jeremy diamond for that report. coming up, we go inside a flight simulator with a commercial pilot to get a sense of what flying into reagan national airport at night looks like. why? he says flight procedures should be reexamined to keep this disaster from

prescription drug coverage. humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage with $0 copays on hundreds of prescriptions. most plans include $0 copays for covered preventive dental services, vision coverage that includes vision exams and a yearly allowance toward eyewear. even hearing benefits that include routine hearing exams and coverage toward hearing aids. you can get $0 copays for in-network preventive services and $0 copays for routine vaccines, and there's worldwide coverage for emergency and urgent care. when you travel. plus, humana also offers medicare advantage plans. plans have $0 or low monthly plan premiums, and there's a cap on your out of costs, so call or go online today to see if there's a humana plan in your area. and to get our free decision guide. licensed humana sales agents are standing groups with high quali

name not be released, but cnn is told she was copiloting the black hawk and had about 500 flight hours. these identifications come as the white house doubles down on president trump's claims that dei hiring policies at the faa played a role in the crash. cnn's jeff zeleny is at the white house for us live. and, jeff, during today's press briefing, the white house press secretary doubling down on the president's belief and assertion that dei is partly responsible for this tragedy, something that he said with no evidence. has the white house provided any proof? >> brianna. >> the white. >> house has not. >> provided any proof to back up the president's statements. as you said, he said earlier today on social media that the. helicopter was flying too high. now, that certainly has been speculation that several people have made. senator tammy. >> duckworth. >> a former helicopter pilot as well, has raised that as a possibility. so this certainly is a preliminary possibility. but the president stated it as

fact. the white house, though, talking about those dei initiatives, they simply repeated that throughout the the federal workforce at the faa, they said that the hiring practices of previous administrations have allowed unqualified, um, people to work and serve. there is no evidence for that. but the president again, signing an order yesterday and the white house doubling down again today, talking about those hiring practices. but again, we should point out there is simply no evidence to back that up. it has been something that, you know, has been floating out there in several, um, instances of aviation, near-misses and things that is there, you know, a an experience or qualification factor happening here. but again, there's no evidence to back that up. and specifically on the naming of the of the the copilot on that helicopter, the white house did not comment specifically on that. the president, i should note, is in the oval office right now signing unrelated executive

orders. that is often a time when he answers questions and talks again. so we will let you know if there's any updates on his earlier comments here today. brianna. >> all right. jeff zeleny live for us at the white house. thank you. the department of transportation has just announced that effective today, the faa will restrict helicopter traffic in the area over the potomac river. >> the airspace over d.c. has been described as congested and challenging to fly in. cnn national correspondent jason carroll hopped inside a flight simulator to give us a better idea of what pilots actually see i'm here with erin murphy. >> he's a commercial pilot. he's also a flight instructor. he has logged hundreds of hours in flight simulators, like the one that we are in right now. and what he's doing is he's put up on the simulation. this is what the approach to reagan airport would actually look like. now, this is not a crj 700. it's a 737. but it gives

you an idea of what these pilots would be, or any pilot for that matter would be looking at on approach to reagan. correct? >> that's correct. um, so. >> as you. >> can see out the window right now, the only way, you know, there's a river beneath us is. >> because of the what we call a black hole. >> there is no definition. there are no lights. we know there's a bridge going across the river just ahead of us here. and that's how we know that's water. and of course, you know the area flying. >> in here. >> as a pilot, you would recognize you would know already that is a river. but that's. >> what it looks. >> like at night. >> when you're training these pilots on approach. what are some of the things that you specifically are telling them to look out for? >> number one, other traffic, which unfortunately is a situation that just happened yesterday. um, looking out the window right now, for example, you see. how the lights have a. >> bit of a twinkling effect. >> a lot of that can. camouflage other aircraft. the lights within. >> that carpeting. >> of lights, it can be very difficult to see. >> other moving vehicles. and not only.

>> that, but. >> then you have moving vehicles. on the roadways in the lights. >> and so very difficult, obviously, to see something like a black hawk helicopter 100%. >> yes. it would be very difficult to see an aircraft like that. this airport is a known hotspot. >> in aviation. >> so coming. >> into reagan. >> number one is traffic. >> even though you brief it and you discuss it and you're ready and you you've got it sorted out. this is a perfect example of how sometimes things just unfold in a way that you really don't expect. >> even with experienced pilots. >> yes. >> and if you listen to. >> some of the reports. >> that cnn. >> has done with some some other very famous pilots that we have. >> they have. >> said that they've been into this airport many, many times with helicopters flying underneath them. so it's a standard procedure. something was different last night. something happened that was different enough to bring the airplanes together. the aircraft came together.

>> whenever there was an air traffic tragedy. lessons are learned. i'm wondering if you think what what lessons might be learned at this time. >> this is a procedural accident. we need to get deeper into the procedures of how the helicopters are flying up and down the river, and even how the aircraft are approaching and doing that circling approach to land. on 33. we need to fine tune that. there's been lots of different situations at this airport. it's a hotspot in the aviation community. because of all the traffic. many pilots know this already and that's why you have specialized training to fly into that airport for exactly this reason. >> a really fascinating perspective. and our thanks to jason carroll for that report. stay with news central. we're back in just a few minutes. >> kobe didn't want to be one of the all time greats. he wanted to be the best. >> he may. >> be the one to self-sabotage everything he's ever wanted. >> that's when the black mamba was born. >> kobe. the making of a legend.
