Report online has it that an American Airlines regional jet crashed the Potomac River near Washington, D.C.'s Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after colliding with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday night. This is with no survivors expected amid the extremely cold and windy conditions.

Sixty-four people were said to be on board the plane, which departed from Wichita, Kansas.
The collision happened around 9 p.m. when the PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet was on approach to the airport.

Authorities say they are moving from a rescue mission to a recovery mission following a midair collision between a military helicopter and a passenger jet near Ronald Reagan National Airport.

Sixty passengers and four crew members were on American Airlines flight 5342 when it collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter carrying three service members.
After working all night to rescue people from the river, authorities are now saying no survivors are expected.

Hmmm no survivors expected, it is well. I can only imagine with the families of these people would be going through right now.

Yeah they would have survived only between 30 to 40 minutes in the water but I think they stayed longer before help could come

They were so unfortunate if they only knew that they would meet their demise they will never fly. It's fate all we have to do is pray for their eternal rest.

The plane passengers need to pray before boarding to fly in safely up to their destination. Prayer is the only instrument to save lives .
