In the heavily monitored skies above Washington on a Tuesday afternoon, Marine One and a commercial Envoy Air passenger jet came within less than a mile of each other — a margin that, in aviation, is not a comfort but a warning. The incident unfolded in airspace designed with redundant safeguards precisely to prevent such moments, raising a quiet but serious question about whether the systems we trust most are as reliable as we believe. No one was hurt, but the near-miss has set investigators searching for the point where coordination quietly failed.
