The Trump administration has begun firing several hundred Federal Aviation Administration employees, upending staff on a busy air travel weekend and just weeks after a fatal midair collision near Washington.

Cedarville University in Ohio confirmed Thursday that one of the victims of the crash was student Grace Maxwell. Maxwell was a junior majoring in mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering and was anticipating her graduation in 2026, the college said in a statement.

"The passenger families on that aircraft demand justice, they demand answers, and they demand accountability, and they're entitled to that," attorney Bob Clifford said.
