🚨 NOW: This is the demolished fuselage of American Airlines Flight 5342 in the Potomac River here in DC

The planes tail seems to be COMPLETELY gone from this vantage point.

The plane was a Bombardier CRJ-700 Regional Jet with 60 souls on board.

Per FAA, it crashed into a Sikorsky H-60 Blackhawk

HUGE rescue effort underway

Shoutout to the one and only Mitch Holthus for being named the 2024 "Kansan of the Year" by the Kansas Society of Washington, D.C. this morning.

Mitch is the greatest to ever do it, and we are so lucky to have him in Chiefs Kingdom. Congrats, Mitch!

At 93 years old, Bob Dole invited us to the KS State Fair w/him. At the end of the day, he said: “Let’s go see the soldiers.” We went to the @USArmy recruiting booth, where he shook hands w/every soldier & thanked them for their service.#RememberingBobDole https://t.co/aIeF5cK6fT

A Kansas hero, beloved around the world, is finally on his way home to rest. Fr. Emil Kapaun, who is on the path to sainthood in the Catholic Church, had his remains identified this year. They are now returning to Kansas.

New: I talked to one of the organizers of charter flights out of Mazar-e-Sharif in Afghanistan. She disputes the State Department's claim that they don't have enough info for the passengers and says they feel abandoned by the Biden administration.

Sec. of State Antony Blinken called on the Taliban to allow chartered aircraft to depart Afghanistan with Americans and Afghans ready to board, but said there were "limits" to what the U.S. can do to ensure they fly out. https://t.co/qtltNepZJA

CNN's Jake Tapper: "Hundreds of Americans who wanted to leave [Afghanistan] and thousands of lawful, permanent residents of the United States and countless Afghan allies have been left behind."

[Lara Seligman @laraseligman]

As the US evacuation mission in Afghanistan ends, this line seems particularly poignant:

“We’re not going to get everyone out. We’ll get 90-95 %.”

There are still 100s of American citizens and tens of thousands of at-risk Afghans left in the country. https://t.co/P8CHyAkMc6

Gen. Kenneth McKenzie: "There's a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure. We did not get everyone out that we wanted to get out." https://t.co/F1LwqRRH8Z

“We did not get out everybody that we wanted to get out”. Last US military planes leave without incident just before midnight in Kabul. State Department official estimates less than 250 US citizens remain in Afghanistan

[Steven Portnoy @stevenportnoy]

No US citizens were on the final five US military flights out of Afghanistan, Gen. McKenzie says.

"That activity ended probably about 12 hours before our exit. Although we continued our outreach... none of them made it to the airport," McKenzie said.
