An American Airlines flight carrying dozens of passengers has collided with a military helicopter as it approached Washington DC’s Ronald Reagan National Airport.
The plane then crashed into the Potomac River, officials said, and boats and divers are searching the water for survivors.
The Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet – carrying 60 passengers and four crew members – collided with the helicopter as it was approaching the runway at around 21:00 EST (02:00 GMT) on Wednesday.
The plane was coming from Wichita, Kansas, according to the airline.
