American Airlines Crash at DCA was completely memory holed

Is it just me, or has the American Airlines crash at DCA been completely wiped from public discussion? A military helicopter crashes into a commercial plane at a major airport in the nation’s capital, and within days, it’s like it never happened. No major media follow-ups, no public outcry, barely any discussion online.

Compare this to other aviation incidents—some stay in the news cycle for weeks, if not months. But this? Silence. No deep dives, no official narrative being pushed, just… nothing.

It feels like one of those moments where, if you weren’t paying attention when it happened, you’d never even know it existed. Why do you think this is? Was it covered up, or does the public just not care anymore?
