Washington DC plane crash: Everything we know so far | BBC News
A passenger plane collided in midair with a military helicopter near Washington DC's Ronald Reagan airport on Wednesday evening.
The plane was carrying 64 passengers and crew when it crashed into the Potomac River after the collision. The helicopter had three people on board, who were labelled a "fairly experienced crew" by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
US President Donald Trump has confirmed there were no survivors.
Authorities searching the freezing waters say they have switched to a recovery operation.
Trump blamed diversity rules under his predecessors for the collision, saying he believes people hired for air traffic control roles were not always qualified - but offered no evidence for this.
