Damn. That looks like they were landing where another plane was taking off?

Praying the souls on board did not suffer.

• Initial reports suggest a Black Hawk helicopter (previously reported as DC Police) crashed into a regional passenger plane — about 60 souls on the plane, which appears to be in the water.

• Flight seems to be American Airlines Flight 5342 - flew in from Wichita.

• Video can be found on various platforms showing a mid-air explosion that looks to be the result of a collision. [Source]

• Some early indications from scanners of deaths on scene but perhaps some successful rescues. As a local, the water here is chilly, the Potomac River only just thawed.

• On Sean Hannity’s show, citing an anonymous Senator, so skepticism warranted, but saying 60+ are dead, which unfortunately doesn’t leave much room for survivors.

• News is calling it a Black Hawk. Hearing emergency vehicles all around DC. Heartbreaking.

• FAA Statement: A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time. PSA was operating Flight 5342 as American Airlines. It departed from Wichita, Kansas. The FAA and NTSB will investigate. The NTSB will lead the investigation.

Nigga this near needs to chill the fuck is going on
