A passenger aircraft carrying 64 people collided midair with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport outside of Washington, DC, as it approached the runway, according to the Federal Aviation Administration and defense officials.
The search and rescue operation for survivors of Wednesday’s plane collision is becoming more grim, according to a law enforcement source.
The source described images from rescuers as “stunning,” saying it was hard to make out what they were seeing. The plane, they said, was in several pieces.
Two law enforcement sources and a source familiar with the situation confirm that no survivors had been recovered at this point.
Officials are preparing for this to be the deadliest disaster in DC in decades since an Air Florida Flight crashed into the 14th Street Bridge, connecting Arlington, Virginia, and Washington, DC, in 1982, according to the source.
Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser will be part of the 12:30 a.m. presser, her team says.
