This is terribly sad news. I’m so sorry for any of those involved. My heart goes out to their families. #airdisaster #americanairlines
At least 28 bodies were pulled from the Potomac River after an American Airlines jet carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided with an Army helicopter while landing near Washington, officials said.

They did not believe there were survivors.

The body of the plane was found upside down in three sections in waist-deep water. The wreckage of the helicopter was also found. It appeared to be the deadliest US air crash in two decades.
