According to a written statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a passenger plane collided with a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan Airport.
The passenger plane belonging to American Airlines and the military helicopter fell into the Potomac River after the collision. While an investigation into the accident has been launched, reports in the American media indicate that there have been no survivors so far.
DANGEROUS FLIGHT DAYS AGO
After the accident, a user on social media shared a video they recorded last week of helicopters near Ronald Reagan Airport. The footage captured by the user showed two helicopters flying very close to the planes.
"I THOUGHT IT WAS CRAZY"
Regarding the footage he shared after the accident, the user stated: "I shot this video 6 days ago when I was leaving Reagan International Airport, and I thought it was a bit crazy to see these helicopters next to us. Did something similar cause tonight's collision?"
TRUMP BLAMED THE TOWER
Following the accident that shook the country, U.S. President Donald Trump blamed the control tower. In a post on his Truth Social account regarding the accident, Trump stated: "The plane was on a perfect and routine approach path to the airport. The helicopter was heading towards the plane for a long time. It was a clear night, and the plane's lights were on; why didn't the helicopter go up or down or turn? Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane? This looks like a bad situation that should have been avoided. Not good!"
