SOURCE: CNN- No survivors likely: No one is believed to have survived the midair collision between an American Airlines jet plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter last night in the Washington, DC, area, the fire chief said Thursday.
President Donald Trump is expected to address the tragedy this morning at the White House Briefing Room.
Recovery operation: Emergency authorities have switched to “recovery effort” after 28 bodies have so far been found, officials said.
Officials are confident they will recover the bodies of those killed in the collision.
The aircraft, flying from Wichita, Kansas, was carrying 64 people, while three soldiers were aboard the helicopter.
Athletes on board: Several members of the figure skating community were aboard the jet, returning from a developmental camp in Wichita, US Figure Skating said.
The Skating Club of Boston named six victims, including Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, the 1994 world champs in pairs.
NTSB leading investigation: The National Transportation Safety Board is leading the investigation.
American Airlines said the two pilots aboard Flight 5342 were experienced in complex commercial flight, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the helicopter was on an annual proficiency training flight.

well planned and orchestrated “crash”
Many more to come….including the collapse of the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
Solace with #love_N_light, to those left to grieve and mourn!
Strange things are happening! Strange. This is so, #ohio!
The airspace around National Airport is probably one of the busiest and most protected in the HUEman world with the USA Seat of government on right and who knows how many military bases to the left, on approach.
I could understand, the 1982 Air Florida Crash into the 14th Street Bridge, due to the approach from that angle and the weather conditions, but this one is so #ohio! BTW #ohio to generation Alpha & Omega means “weird.”
Even if, the helicopter was leaving or going to the Pentagon or Army/Navy Base in S.E. Washington, DC…
A…did the air traffic controllers missed it on their radar?
B…the navigation lights on the helicopter have been visible.
Ironically, at the time of this crash, I was watching The 20 Most Proven UFO Sightings on PRIME.
Let’s go to the Conspiracy Blog…
Please don’t loose no marbles, go haywire or short circuit.
I…was this a Kamikaze mission? With these new Executive Orders signed by Trump regarding the Military how will such affect the moral of some service members?
II…are Aliens sending a message to the new administration, and made the Black Hawk invisible to radar by encasing it in a bubble?
