Firstpost  

Over 300 personnel have been pressed into search and rescue operations in the freezing waters of the Potomac River after an American Airlines jet carrying 64 people collided with a US Army helicopter last night. AFP At least 28 people are confirmed dead after an American Airlines jet collided midair with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter while trying to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington at about 9 pm local time last evening. On Wednesday evening, an American Airlines flight, operated by PSA Airlines as American Eagle Flight 5342, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided with a US Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, DC. Duffy’s remarks came after US President Donald Trump’s post on social media Wednesday that the collision “should have been prevented.” The Transportation Secretary said that both the American Airlines jet and the military helicopter were on a “standard” flight path last night.
