A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 passenger plane with 60 passengers and four crew members collided with a Sikorsky H-60 military helicopter carrying three soldiers while attempting to land at Reagan Washington National Airport near Washington, D.C. The crash sent both aircraft into the Potomac River, prompting a large-scale search and rescue operation.
Authorities have confirmed 18 fatalities, with no survivors found so far. The airport suspended all flights, and rescue teams continue their efforts. US President Donald Trump stated he is closely monitoring the situation as investigations proceed.
