Summary
An American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair near Reagan National Airport, killing at least 18 people.
Trump initially expressed condolences but later questioned why the air traffic control tower or helicopter pilot didn’t prevent the crash.
The FAA identified the plane as a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700.
A Kennedy Center webcam captured the collision, and investigations are ongoing.
CNN’s Pete Muntean called the incident stunning, noting its proximity to a military base.
Sadly the conspiracy theorist in me asks “who was on that plane that had a hit out out against them?” Latest was saying there were Russian figure skaters on board.
I hate that my mind goes there but with this freaking administration, anything is possible.
