A horrific plane crash involving an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army helicopter occurred near Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. The American flight, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, collided with the helicopter shortly before 9 p.m. Eastern time. Immediate rescue efforts were launched, with hundreds of first responders at the scene. Media coverage was intense, focusing on the incident's details and expert analysis, particularly from CNN, which featured correspondent Pete Muntean who provided insights on aviation safety and crash scenarios.
At one point, Muntean used his hands (and then later a model plane) to show viewers how the crash likely happened.
CNN relied heavily on Washington-based correspondent Pete Muntean, a pilot and flight instructor who covers aviation and transportation for the network.
