2 min read

On the evening of January 29, 2025, Washington, D.C. was struck by a devastating event that changed the city’s course forever. What began as another routine flight approaching Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport turned into a disaster, darkening the skies over the nation’s capital. Beyond the individuals directly involved in the crash, the entire community was affected, with residents still grappling with the loss.

In the wake of this tragedy, the WNBA’s Washington Mystics were forced to make an unexpected decision. They had initially planned to announce their new General Manager, Jamila Wideman, and Head Coach, Sydney Johnson. However, out of respect for the gravity of the situation, the Mystics chose to postpone the press conference, shifting the focus away from their leadership changes and toward the healing process the city would need in the days ahead.
