An American Airlines regional plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair near Reagan National Airport, crashing into the Potomac River on Wednesday night. The plane had 64 people onboard, while the helicopter carried three soldiers. At least 18 bodies have been recovered so far. A major search and rescue effort is underway, with divers and emergency teams responding despite freezing conditions. The FAA has grounded flights at Reagan National, and officials, including President Trump and the Secretary of Defense, are monitoring the situation. Investigators will examine how the collision occurred in Washington’s busy airspace.
