In a media release released on Saturday, the United States Army named the second man killed in a collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines plane near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. A former White House staffer who worked under former President Joe Biden has been identified as the second man.
In Saturday’s hit launch, the U. S. Army announced that the second man killed in last year’s horrible mid-air motion near the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport had been identified as 28-year-old Captain Rebecca Lobach. Authorities have confirmed that the motion left 67 people dead and that no one else was injured.
After enlisting for the North Carolina Army National Guard in December 2018, Lobach had been an aircraft commander since July of that year, according to CBS News. Lobach’s support to the country earned her the Army Commendation Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Achievement Medal, and the Army Service Ribbon, according to the Army.
The Army stated in the Army’s press release on Saturday that “her home and all the people who are mourning the loss of their loved ones impacted by this destructive injury” send out its sympathies. We continue to support the ongoing investigations and labor with the people of our fallen soldiers.
