According to The Washington Times, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) denied a request by air traffic controllers to decrease the number of arriving aircraft at Reagan National Airport months before the catastrophic mid-air collision between a commercial jet and a military helicopter. The outlet cited an internal FAA memo made public by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), saying the request was made in May 2023. The report comes days before the NTSB is scheduled to hold a hearing to disclose everything that contributed to the crash, which killed all 67 people on board both aircraft. FAA denied request to reduce flight arrivals at DC airport months before mid-air collision: Report https://t.co/bpBxh7ffgB — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) January 23, 2026 More from The Washington Times: The air traffic controllers, who work at Potomac Consolidated Terminal Radar Approach Control (PCT TRACON) in Warrenton, sought a decrease in the number of hourly commercial aircraft arrivals into Reagan, which operates the nation’s busiest runway and is the main airport used by Congressional lawmakers. The PCT TRACON team cited a number of safety factors in their request, including an inability to meter arriving aircraft to maintain the required four miles of spacing between them, which resulted in difficulty managing traffic flow into Reagan. Their request sought to cut arrivals at Reagan’s main runway from 36 to 32 incoming flights per hour. An FAA official, who is now retired and was serving as the FAA’s Washington district general manager, resisted forwarding the request up the chain of command, according to the air traffic controllers. The PCT TRACON team never received a formal written answer to their request. They were instead informed verbally by an unnamed official that the request would not be forwarded up the FAA management chain to avoid the wrath of House and Senate lawmakers. Lawmakers depend on frequent flights in and out of Reagan to travel to and from their districts. At the time, they were also advancing legislation to expand the number of “slots” granted to airlines to fly in and out of Reagan. Scripps News noted that the temporary rules imposed after the deadly collision to improve the safety of the airspace are being made permanent. “After that horrific night in January, this administration made a promise to do whatever it takes to secure the skies over our nation’s capital and ensure such a tragedy would never happen again. Today’s announcement reaffirms that commitment,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said, according to the outlet. “One year after the deadly DCA midair collision, the FAA is making *permanent* restrictions on helicopter flights near the airport—saying the once-temporary changes are needed to prevent a repeat. The rules take effect Friday,” CNN correspondent Pete Muntean stated.

Matt Collins, who lost his younger brother Chris in the disaster, said he and many of the other families plan to keep going to Washington so often that lawmakers will get sick of seeing them until changes are made. “I hope to have some hearings done in the Senate and Congress, and I hope results come out of these hearings that they have,” said Collins who lives in Dighton, Massachusetts. “I hope we’re not just placated and it falls off into the background until another big news story comes up.” The FAA said the new final rule will take effect on Friday. It will continue to require military aircraft to broadcast their locations using their ADS-B Out systems, which was routinely not done before the crash. And air traffic controllers are not allowed to rely on pilots to ensure visual separation between aircraft within five miles (eight kilometers) of Reagan airport. The NTSB has said that the Black Hawk helicopter in the crash was flying 78 feet (24 meters) higher than the 200-foot (61-meter) limit on the route and likely had a faulty altimeter. But even if the helicopter had been adhering to that limit, the NTSB has said the route design didn’t provide nearly enough separation to ensure safety. Air traffic controllers had warned the FAA years beforehand about the dangers of all the helicopters around the nation’s capital, and the agency failed to recognize an alarming pattern of 85 near misses in the three years before the crash.

Gold and Silver are currently sitting at All Time Highs as I write this (and have been for weeks), so I thought it might be a good time to revisit this and make sure you had this information handy. In the midst of covering politics, we also cover money from time to time…and while I’m not a financial advisor, I share what I’m learning in the hopes that it can help you and keep you and your family safe. And that often leads me to covering Gold and Silver. You know, what they have always called “God’s Money”. He made it, they aren’t making any more of it, and it has always been highly valued as money from the beginning of time until now. So I’m a big fan and I think it has the potential to do big things if, say, the U.S. Dollar were to suddenly collapse. So that’s why I talk about it and why I want to make sure everyone protects themselves and your families. So to answer the question of “what can I do?” it’s really quite simple: you need to get some #Gold or #Silver in your own possession. It’s called “physical” gold and silver. Not paper traded garbage on the stock exchanges that isn’t backed by anything. Don’t touch that stuff. And because I get asked so much how to buy it and what the best places are, I thought I would publish this and just get it out there for all to have…. I have two special hook-ups for you and these are the ONLY two companies I am proud to partner up with on Gold and Silver. Both involve PHYSICAL gold and silver. Because if you do NOTHING else, make sure you own “physical” gold and silver, not paper contracts. The paper contracts (like stock ticker SLV and GLD) could very well go POOF one day and disappear or go to zero, because they’re not actually backed by the gold and silver they claim to represent. It’s a massive game of musical chairs out there and when the music stops (and I think it will stop soon…) people who only own paper might find themselves owning something not worth the paper it’s literally written on. And I know you’ll never forget it if I give you this GIF so….Let’s Get Physical: Now…WHERE do you get physical gold and silver and how do you know it’s real and safe? And that you’re getting the best price? Oh, and how about personal one-on-one real customer service? You know, like you were some Big Wig millionaire at Goldman Sachs who could just call their personal banker and get help? That’s what I’m about to tell you. I have two killer connections for you… 1⃣ The first is for purchasing gold and silver bullion, bars and/or coins. You may recognize Andy Schectman from Miles Franklin. He’s prolific on YouTube and just a brilliant guy, I’ve followed him for years. I’ve partnered up with Andy’s company, Miles Franklin, and I’m really excited to show you what they can do! In fact, Andy’s going to be coming on my show, the Daily Truth Report (follow us on YouTube and Rumble) in the future, and you’re going to want to make sure you don’t miss those. Andy is a wealth of knowledge about the precious metals markets and crypto, and I’ve covered him here many times in the past. Now I’ll get to chat with him myself, and I’m really looking forward to it. I’m spoken directly with Andy and his team and they have assured me they will take very good care of anyone in the WLT Report family (that’s you!). At Miles Franklin, everyone gets personal attention from their team of brokers and you’ll get whatever level of hand-holding you prefer.  They’ll also customize a deal just for you, but you have to call them and tell them NOAH sent you!  They’ll handle it from there.  1-952-929-7006 There is no minimum order size and no maximum limit. I think you’ll love working with them, I already do! You can reach them at 1-952-929-7006 and make sure you let them know that Noah sent you over, they’ve promised me the best of the best service and pricing for everyone in the WLT Report family.  (You can visit their website too, but best pricing is by phone) That’s the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible. You’ll get a personal phone call with one of their top brokers, personalized, white glove concierge service at no extra cost to you….whether you’re buying $500 or $50,000, they’ll treat you the same. How about that! No sales pitch, just real, actual help. And the best prices you will find. Ok, that was #1. Now I want to tell you about option #2. 2⃣ An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys is Genesis Gold. This is for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts). You know what the beauty of that is? Two huge benefits actually… First is TAX FREE baby! I’m not a tax advisor, but that’s a general oversimplification. Never pay more taxes than you are legally required to pay. And that’s why I love getting gold and silver in my IRA (and why I hold a large chunk in an IRA myself!). Second is if you simply shift money out of stocks (like Peter Schiff recommends) and into Gold, it won’t cost you anything!  No money out of pocket!   BOOM! There’s so much to love about Genesis Gold, starting with the fact they are proudly and un-ashamedly Christina! They call it “Faith-Driven Stewardship” and they put it right on the homepage of their website along with a quote from Ezekiel: Wealth Preservation With Gold & Silver – The Genesis Gold IRA By your wisdom and your understanding you have made wealth for yourself, and have gathered Gold and Silver into your treasuries – EZEKIEL 28:4 Genesis Gold Group believes the Bible gives clues on how man-made currencies (paper money) represent instability, and a lack of virtue and encourages living wastefully in excess. Conflicts have beleaguered us since the dawn of civilization, and they can all be encapsulated into one battle. The battle is between currency, man-made paper, and gold and silver — the two precious metals found in our Earth’s crust, sent to us by our Lord to use as money. Man-made currency always leads nations down the path to increased war, greed, and ultimate collapse. History has shown that abandoning gold and silver has always been a bad idea. Gold and Silver enforce discipline, nurture self-constraint, self-reliance, and balance, and lead to confidence, a restrained government, and a more stable foreign policy. Genesis Gold Group believes in empowering faith-driven stewardship with Gold & Silver are an integral part of a balanced portfolio. Protecting your finances with precious metals has never been more crucial during these trying times. With a combined 50-plus years in the precious metals industry, let your Genesis gold and silver experts guide you through the simplicity of asset protection and growth with our Genesis Gold IRA. Sincerely, Genesis Gold Group Empowering Faith-Driven Stewardship Oh….and they’re VERY good at what they do. You also get physical gold and silver with Genesis, believe it or not!  The gold and silver is purchased for you (in whatever combination of coins and bars you prefer, a picture taken and sent to you, and then stored safely in a vault for you! I love what these guys are doing. Here’s more on why gold and silver in your IRA are so powerful: You can contact Genesis Gold here. They are also very backed up with record demand, so you may have to wait a bit, but someone WILL get in touch with you for personal customer service and assistance! Tell ’em Noah sent ya! Oh, and did you know Genesis is recommended by SUPERMAN himself? It’s true. Superman himself, Clark Kent — Dean Cain — came on my show a few weeks ago and we broke it all down: Watch here: Stay safe! Make sure you can weather the storm when it hits! Because the storm always hits eventually, doesn’t it? As for me and my house, we will be ready.
