WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) - Senate Commerce Committee chair Ted Cruz said Wednesday the panel plans to subpoena the U.S. Army to force the military to turn over a 2024 report detailing why the Army routinely failed to use a safety system known as ADS-B on helicopter flights around Reagan Washington National Airport.
An Army Black Hawk helicopter did not have ADS-B operating during a routine training mission when it collided with an American Airlines AAL.O regional jet on January 29, killing 67 people. The Army last week refused senators' request for the memo.
