Washington, D.C.—In a tragic turn of events, a midair collision over Washington, D.C. on Wednesday night claimed the lives of all 67 people aboard two aircraft, including two Chinese citizens 💔.
The collision involved an American Airlines regional passenger plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter, both of which crashed into the icy waters of the Potomac River. As rescue teams continue searching for bodies, the nation grapples with the immense loss.
Air travel resumed at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on January 30, but the somber mood lingers. The skies may have reopened, but hearts remain heavy across the globe 🌍.
