Jet with 60 passengers collides with US Army helicopter, crashes into Washington DC river

A midair collision occurred Wednesday evening at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, involving an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a PSA Airlines (Subsidiary of the American Airlines Group) Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet.
The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the incident happened around 9 pm local time as the jet, Flight 5342 operated by PSA under American Airlines, was approaching Runway 33. The aircraft, which had departed from Wichita, Kansas, crashed near the Potomac River, close to the airport, with fireboats on the scene, according to ABC7.
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas said on social media that “we know there are fatalities,” though he did not say how many.
These are the last 10 deadly airline crashes to occur in the U.S., according to data from the U.S. National Transportation Board and the Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety Network.
