A Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines just before 2100 hours. “Flight 5342, a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet operating for American Airlines and traveling from Wichita, Kan., collided with the military chopper while approaching Runaway 33 at the Washington airport around 9 p.m., according to the Federal Aviation Administration.”
The New York Post is reporting that a ‘desperate and urgent search for survivors is currently underway’ after a Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers collided mid-air with a commercial plane that had 60 passengers and four crew members on board near Reagan National Airport in Virginia Wednesday night.
The urgency of the situation is palpable as rescue teams work tirelessly to locate any survivors.
The Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into the private jet is of a similar model to the ones used to transport the American President and other VIPs. This similarity underscores the potential severity of the incident.
“The military chopper had three soldiers on board and was not carrying any VIPs, a defense official told CNN. The Black Hawk can carry 15 people.”
A massive sea of rescue units and other authorities are tirelessly searching the crash area for survivors, demonstrating the intensity of the ongoing efforts. The Black Hawk Helicopter may have been on a training flight when it contacted the American Airlines plane.
The Reagan National Airport is the busiest in terms of air traffic, and the ongoing rescue efforts are a testament to the dedication of the search teams.
