Washington — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy had been sworn in for only a few hours when the first major commercial plane crash in the U.S. in more than a decade shocked the nation late Wednesday.
The Senate confirmed Duffy, President Trump's pick to lead the Department of Transportation, on Tuesday with significant bipartisan support, and he was sworn in by Vice President JD Vance Wednesday afternoon. Later that night, an American Airlines regional plane collided in midair with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C.
