The American Airlines jet involved in the crash had 64 people onboard. Federal authorities confirmed that the plane collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday evening. Following the crash, all flights were halted both inside and outside Washington D.C.’s Ronald Reagan National Airport.

Officials revealed that there were three individuals aboard the helicopter, including crew members, and no senior military personnel were on board. The condition of the crew has not yet been confirmed.
