Had the Black Hawk been using ADS B, like every other aircraft is required to do, tragedy could well have been averted. We've since learned from the National Transportation Safety Board that the military was routinely flying by its own set of rules, particularly around Reagan national, which meant that there had been numerous near misses before this deadly crash. In fact, just last Friday, an Air Force tanker was flying without using ADS B and nearly collided into a JetBlue plane headed to New York. (01:04–01:23)
