SUMMARY: A tragic collision occurred on January 29, 2025, when an American Airlines jet, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, collided with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport. At least 28 bodies were recovered from the Potomac River, prompting officials to transition from rescue to recovery operations. The incident is poised to be the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly 24 years. The flight, involved in a training flight with a military helicopter, experienced a loss of altitude before the collision. Investigations into the cause are underway as the search continues and the airport reopens the following day.

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.
