Serious Passenger jet with 64 aboard collides with Army helicopter while landing at Reagan Airport near DCARLINGTON, Va.

[K.I.T.T.]

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — A jet carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided Wednesday with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, prompting a large search-and-rescue operation in the nearby Potomac River.



There was no immediate word on casualties or the cause of the collision, but all takeoffs and landings from the airport were halted as helicopters from law enforcement agencies across the region flew over the scene in search of survivors. Inflatable rescue boats were launched into the Potomac River from a point along the George Washington Parkway, just north of the airport.

Bet it was a transgender black DEI hire in the control tower.

That's sad. Everyone is definitely dead.

The U.S. Army described the helicopter as a UH-60 Blackhawk based at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The helicopter was on a training flight. Military aircraft frequently conduct training flights in and around the congested and heavily-restricted airspace around the nation’s capital for familiarization and continuity of government planning.

Seems like we were due for a crash. I'm sure Boeing is breathing a sigh of relief that they aren't on the hook for this one.

This shit should not happen. Someone needs to get fired in that tower.

The Blackhawk was warned to take a different path but didn’t….

Be careful. Plane accidents happen in groups of three.

100% Last time I flew earlier this month I fervently prayed that the pilot wasn't a black tranny. All the stewardess were gay men but at least they aren't behind the wheel. Plus they gave me a free drink...
