A catastrophic midair collision between an American Airlines plane and a military Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport resulted in the deaths of 67 individuals, marking it as the deadliest air disaster in the United States in nearly 25 years. The incident unfolded over the Potomac River, with live updates revealing that no survivors are expected. Among the victims were at least two figure skating coaches and several young skaters from the UD Figure Skating Club. The wreckage has been located, and recovery efforts are underway with assistance from the U.S. Army Corps Engineers.

Former pilots and political figures, including Donald Trump, have commented on the crash, with the former president attributing blame to hiring practices within the aviation industry.
