It is worth noting that the American Airlines passenger plane, which was on a flight from Wichita, Kansas, to Washington, collided with a military helicopter during its approach for landing and crashed into the Potomac River. The incident occurred on the night of January 30 over Ronald Reagan Airport.
There were 60 passengers and 4 crew members on board the aircraft. Various sources report differing numbers of casualties.
