A devastating crash occurred earlier today at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, when a commercial flight collided mid-air with a helicopter.
The collision caused the plane to plummet toward the ground, resulting in a catastrophic impact just short of the airport’s runway.
Authorities reported that several passengers on board were immediately confirmed dead, with others left in critical condition.
Witnesses describe a chaotic scene as emergency responders rushed to the site, working to extricate survivors from the wreckage.
Initial reports suggest that the crash involved a flight that had just arrived from Kansas, with multiple individuals on board.
In the aftermath, rescue teams have confirmed that a handful of passengers survived, though the exact number remains unclear at this time.
Local authorities are continuing their search efforts, hoping to find any remaining survivors in the wreckage.
