On January 30, a commercial American Airlines jet carrying 64 people collided with an Army helicopter and subsequently crashed into the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington Airport. Preliminary reports indicate that approximately 20 bodies have been recovered, with little expectation of survivors. The passengers included notable members of the U.S. figure skating community returning from a championship event. Rescue efforts faced challenges due to the treacherous conditions of the river, with 300 first responders deployed for the operation as hopes for finding survivors dwindled.
It's a tragic situation, with multiple lives potentially lost. We're focused on the rescue efforts and gathering information as quickly as we can.
The conditions out there are extremely rough for the responders, but we're committed to searching the waters thoroughly to find any possible survivors.
