The American Airlines flight crash has presumably ended in horrific tragedy.
Following a mid-air clash between American Eagle Flight 5342 (a plane with 60 passengers and four crew members departing from Wichita, Kansas) and a US Army helicopter on January 29, which resulted in the plane crashing into the Potomac River in Washington D.C., city fire chief John Donnelly expressed his belief that everyone onboard perished.
As an over-the-moon fan, I’m sharing the latest update: Donnelly reported that the situation at the plane crash site has moved from a rescue to a recovery protocol, according to NBC News. He emphasized that 27 bodies have been retrieved from the plane crash scene, along with one from the wreckage of the accompanying helicopter.
Donnelly expressed his assurance at the press conference that we will indeed find the remaining deceased. He also mentioned that the upcoming phase of the operation would be led by the National Transportation Safety Board, and he warned that it could take some time, possibly requiring additional tools or equipment.
A plane crash has caused Reagan National Airport to temporarily close until 11 a.m. local time while cleanup operations are underway. The accident resulted in the jet being fragmented into multiple pieces.
According to Jack Potter, CEO of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, as reported by CNN, we’ve collaborated with all federal agencies, including the FAA, and have concluded that it’s safe to open the airport. He also mentioned that the ongoing recovery efforts are being conducted on our waterfront property.
At a press conference on January 30th, Robert Isom, CEO of American Airlines, expressed uncertainty as to why a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and their passenger jet seemed to cross paths. Later, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy clarified that both aircrafts were adhering to a “usual flight routine.
On his Truth Social post dated January 29th, former President Donald Trump also stated that the incident could have been avoided, and he added, “It’s not satisfactory.
As reported by NBC News following a statement from U.S. Figure Skating, it was revealed that numerous American figure skaters, along with their relatives and trainers, were among the travelers on board the plane.
The athletes, trainers, and their families were coming back from a joint National Development Camp during the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. We are heartbroken over this unimaginable loss and keep the families of the affected close to us.
Hamaad Raza additionally shared with CBS affiliate WUSA that his spouse was on the commercial aircraft. He clarified that he had received a message from her moments before the impact, “She sent a text saying they would be landing in about 20 minutes.
When his reply didn’t get a response, Raza started feeling uneasy, fearing that something might have gone awry. He also mentioned, “I can only hope for the best now.
