A midair crash like Wednesday's deadly collision near Washington, D.C., is extremely rare. To help keep it that way, the FAA encourages pilots and flight crews to report incidents where such tragedies almost happen – what's known as a "near midair collision," or NMAC.

Over the last few years and through this year's contentious campaign season, which was rooted in America's deep divisions, there has been a coarsening in the way people talk to each other. We wanted to explore how some are trying to bridge divides. We asked our reporters across the NPR Network to look for examples of people working through their differences. We're sharing those stories in our series Seeking Common Ground.
