What tragic event occurred in Washington D.C.?
Well, folks, horrible, tragic situation in Washington, D.C. According to the UK Daily Mail, an American Airlines passenger jet with 64 people on board crashed midair into a military helicopter while attempting to land at Reagan National Airport. This is one of the most heavily policed areas of the sky in all of America.
Reagan National, of course, a very sensitive security site, given the fact that it has close proximity to pretty much all of the major American security sites in Washington, D.C., The tragedy is just shocking. You can see on video as this American Airlines passenger jet, a small passenger jet that was taking off from Kansas, was trying to land at Reagan National.
And a helicopter, which was swirling around in the area, a Blackhawk military helicopter, flies directly into its path. And it's pretty clearly an accident. There was a lot of speculation last night. I don't like doing speculation, particularly in situations like this where all the information is not available. But the video is shocking and horrifying.
This is some camera footage that was available, some security camera footage available from afar. You can see the fireball that is created as the plane hits the helicopter here. You can see the explosion happening near the bottom of the screen. There's a close-up. You can see the helicopter approaching the flight, flying directly into the path of the airplane. It explodes in midair.
It breaks apart. It lands in the Potomac River. Everybody aboard apparently dead. That includes members of the U.S. figure skating community who had been returning home from the National Development Camp, which is an advanced training camp for promising young athletes held in conjunction with U.S. figure skating championships.
As many as 15 people on the flight may have been involved in figure skating, according to the reports, it included a married couple, a Russian married couple named Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who apparently won world championship in figure skating back in 1994. Again, there were three soldiers who were aboard the Black Hawk helicopter. Just a horrifying, tragic scenario.
We'll bring you the latest as more news becomes available. But at this point, all you can really do is pray for the families because there are no survivors from what we know at this point. Bodies have been fished out of the Potomac. This is going to... mandate serious change, I'm sure, in how Reagan National is run.
And that is some very busy airspace, despite the fact that it's very sensitive airspace. The last time there's a major American plane crash was 2009. It's been a long time in the United States. These are very rare. The United States does have the safest
aviation system on planet earth so when this sort of stuff happens it is truly truly shocking horrifying and tragic once again our prayers go out to the family we'll bring you more information on how people can give charity and help out as time goes on as that information becomes available okay meanwhile in washington dc
