The loved ones of the 67 people killed in last year's collision between an airliner and Army helicopter over Washington, D.C., have a message for Congress and regulators. They want more action now to ensure other families won’t be left clutching memories instead of each other. Several of the victims’ families joined with top lawmakers and the head of the National Transportation Safety Board outside the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday to demand action. But it may be difficult for this Congress to pass anything ahead of the November elections. Senator Ted Cruz said he hopes to get a bill passed during the lame duck session after the midterms.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The two NASA astronauts who led the Artemis II moonshot earlier this year are stepping away from spaceflight.

Authorities say the five people killed when an Amazon cargo jet ran off the runway at Miami International Airport were all inside a van used to shuttle cleaning crews to planes to clean them. The jet crashed as it tried to land Sunday afternoon, overrunning its runway. It slammed into the van on airport property, through a fence and then on to a local street where it destroyed an SUV. The pilot and co-pilot have been released from the hospital. Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz said Tuesday that two people remain in critical condition, and a third is in stable condition. The deceased ranged in age from 47 to 75.
