Join us as we cover the devastating mid-air collision between a civilian passenger jet and an Army Blackhawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport (DCA). We break down what is known so far about the deadly tragedy and play the air traffic control audio from just seconds before the fatal crash.
During a White House briefing, President Donald Trump mocked a journalist's question about visiting the crash site of an American Airlines flight, quipping, "You want me to go swimming?" The remark sparked backlash, with many calling it insensitive. The crash, involving a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, killed all 67 on board. Trump later signed an aviation safety executive order, blaming DEI policies without evidence. While he confirmed plans to meet some victims' families, his response to the tragedy drew mixed reactions online. The NTSB continues its crash investigation.
