Washington DC plane crash

On January 29, 2025, a Bombardier CRJ700 jet airliner operating as PSA Airlines Flight 5342 (marketed as American Eagle Flight 5342 on behalf of American Airlines) and a Sikorsky VH-60M Black Hawk helicopter of the United States Army, collided in mid-air as the airliner prepared to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington County, Virginia, United States. After an explosion, both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River, apparently killing everyone aboard. The airliner was carrying 64 people (60 passengers and 4 crew), while the helicopter had 3 crew members on board. This accident was the first fatal incident for American Airlines since the crash of Flight 587 on November 12, 2001, the first fatal accident involving the CRJ700 series, and the first major commercial plane crash involving a US airline in the US since Colgan Air Flight 3407 on February 12, 2009.
