An unfortunate plane crash near Washington DC’s Ronald Reagan National Airport has gained national attention, with details emerging about the passengers on board. One such story is that of Asra Hussain, a 26-year-old woman who sent her husband, Hamaad Raza, a final text message just moments before the accident.
Asra’s message read, “We are landing in 20 minutes,” as the American Airlines flight neared its destination shortly before 8 PM ET on Wednesday night. This would be the last message she would send.
