🚨“Ronald Reagan National Airport says that all takeoffs and landings have been halted after a crash nearby.

D.C. Fire and EMS said on X on Wednesday night that a small aircraft was down near the airport just outside Washington and that fireboats were on the scene.

The airport said emergency personnel were responding to “an aircraft incident on the airfield.”

@GottaLaff Scanner just now: "boat returning to unload bodies"

@GottaLaff NBC says a regional jet collided mid-air with a helicopter. Search & rescue underway in the Potomac River. Holy moly what a mess.

Edit: maybe, maybe not Blackhawk, sorry, not sure.

More edit: I should’ve read further and saw that you had already posted a link to NBC.

@GottaLaff

My initial thought: "If it had to happen, was it too much to ask that it be Marine 1?"

I think that's enough for one day.
