What happened in the collision between an American Airlines flight and an Army Blackhawk helicopter in Washington D.C.?

A tragic collision occurred between an American Airlines flight and an Army Blackhawk helicopter near Reagan International Airport in Washington D.C. Both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River, resulting in no survivors. The water temperature was approximately 36 degrees, making hypothermia a fatal factor for anyone who may have initially survived the impact. Audio recordings revealed that air traffic control had communicated with the helicopter just 30 seconds before the crash. Among the victims were believed to be members of US Figure Skating and possibly Russian figure skaters. Recovery efforts were ongoing at the time of the report, with President Trump indicating that a full list of victims would eventually be released.
