🚨 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
Absolutely speechless. I selected this apartment so I could watch the planes take off and land every night; never imagined I’d look out the window to see this.
Praying for the folks onboard American Airlines Flight 5342. I’m so sorry I can’t string together a better sentence.

🚨 #BREAKING: The military Blackhawk that crashed into an American Airlines flight in Washington, DC was reportedly “FLYING DARK,” per ADSBexchange
The chopper was NOT broadcasting an ADSB signal at the time.
It has just been found submerged in the Potomac River, and first responders say there are likely “no viable victims inside.”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport.”
“May God Bless their souls. Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more details as they arise.”

Gender ideology is a disgustingly sexist, misogynist, homophobic, authoritarian, anti-facts and overall insulting movement, and if you’re upset that Trump is the one ending it, ask the politicians you like why they didn’t.
