Washington plane crash: Midair collision between US passenger jet and Army chopper, 19 dead
India TodayA US passenger aircraft carrying 64 people collided midair with a US Army helicopter and crashed into the Potomac River near Washington on Thursday morning. The crash took place between an American Airlines regional flight and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter while the passenger jet was on approach to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington, DC. TRUMP BLAMES ARMY CHOPPER US President Donald Trump questioned why the helicopter did not divert as the flight approached and asked why the air traffic controller issued those directions. In audio from the air traffic control tower around the time of the crash, a controller is heard asking the helicopter, “PAT25 do you have the CRJ in sight,” in reference to the passenger aircraft.
