An American Airlines regional enger jet and a 🇺🇸 U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter crashed into the Potomac River after a midair collision near Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night, officials said.

The Washington Post said multiple bodies had been pulled from the water. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said on social media that "we know there are fatalities," though he did not say how many

An American Airlines source told Reuters that 60 engers, along with two pilots and two crew were aboard the flight. Three soldiers were aboard the helicopter, a U.S. official said.

NBC reported that four people had been pulled alive from the Potomac River.

A web camera shot from the Kennedy Center in Washington showed an explosion mid-air across the Potomac around 2047 ET with an aircraft in flames crashing down rapidly.

The U.S. Federal Aviation istration said a PSA Airlines regional jet collided midair with the helicopter while on approach to Reagan.

PSA was operating Flight 5342 for American Airlines, which had departed from Wichita, Kansas, according to the FAA.

Police said multiple agencies were involved in a search and rescue operation in the Potomac River, which borders the airport.

Dozens of police, ambulance and recuse units, some ferrying boats, staged along the river and raced to positions along the tarmac of Reagan airport. Live TV images showed several boats in the water, flashing blue and red lights.

Given how bad midair collisions are and how hard it is to survive hitting the water at that speed, I don’t think there’ll be any survivors.

The crash forces and the cold, rough conditions of the Potomac River just make it really unlikely. Bad evening.

Only you within 1 week

Fired everybody

Fired people based on race (If you have worked in America before, you will know that any organization you fire the black people, that job will collapse, because its the black people that really do the work, when the supervisor is not around. The Caucasians just talk with accents and give orders.)

Started deporting immigrants with military jets

Pulled out of WHO

Stopped all aide to all other countries, all the HIV/TB medications sent to Africa stopped.

The real show is just starting. Trump likes to just act to the cheering of the peanut gallery. The only thing that makes America great is its diversity.

If the collision had happened in Nigeria, I guess you would have abused and cursed everyone.....also shouting " this cannot happen in a sane society". Bunch of foolish and unpatriotic people in this country

They would also debate this in Congress.

This is an accident that could have been avoided.

Trump's policy likely caused the accident.
