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.

• Fatalities have been confirmed and rescuers have not yet pulled any survivors from the water, a law enforcement source said. The source says the plane is in pieces in the water and the helicopter is in the water nearby.

• The plane, American Airlines Flight 5342 with 60 passengers and four crew members on board, had departed from Wichita, Kansas, according to the airline. Three soldiers were on board the helicopter, which was a training flight, officials say.

• All takeoffs and landings have been halted at Reagan National Airport.

No survivors expected after midair collision between passenger jet and Army helicopter.

No survivors likely: No one is believed to have survived the midair collision between an American Airlines jet plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter last night in the Washington, DC, area, the fire chief said Thursday. President Donald Trump is expected to address the tragedy this morning at the White House Briefing Room.

• Recovery operation: Emergency authorities have switched to “recovery effort” after 28 bodies have so far been found, officials said. Officials are confident they will recover the bodies of those killed in the collision. The aircraft, flying from Wichita, Kansas, was carrying 64 people, while three soldiers were aboard the helicopter.

• NTSB leading investigation: The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation. American Airlines said the two pilots aboard Flight 5342 were experienced in complex commercial flight, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the helicopter was on an annual proficiency training flight.

• Athletes on board: Several members of the figure skating community were aboard the jet, US Figure Skating said. Separately, Russia’s state news agency said two world-champion Russian figure skaters were on the plane.

Yes, the passenger plane was initially given permission to land on Runway 1 and later changed to Runway 33.

that is a common practice depending on the conditions at the site.. but it looks like it is a mistake from heli flying higher than the designated height. let's see what investigation unfolds..
