Preliminary visual recreation of the KDCA mid-air collision under white phosphor night vision. January 29, 2025. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. AAL5342 - PAT25 - I created this to illustrate the visual complexity night vision could have had on the situation. Plane models are not exact. My heart aches for everyone involved. May their souls rest in peace, and let us grow from this tragedy.
