Reaping the Whirlwind: Inside the Potomac River Midair Collision
admiralcloudberg.medium.comNote that this is a long article (~3 hour read). If you just want the executive summary of what happened, I might suggest skipping forward to chapter 7 first and then if you want more, go back and read the in-depth analysis of earlier chapters.
It is a very sobering read.
It is. It's a good study of what happens when you combine complex systems in planes and helicopters with the complex systems of navigation and communication, and air traffic control.
If you're looking for more Cloudberg, some of my favorites are:

the Gimli glider

and UPS flight 6

That last one is truly a nightmare scenario if you're a pilot.
