LIVE VIEW POTOMAC RIVER: Plane crashes with military helicopter in DC

Hundreds of rescuers are searching the frigid waters of the Potomac River for survivors after an American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members collided with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington on Wednesday.
Three soldiers were onboard the helicopter, an Army official said.
The Associated Press reported multiple fatalities, but the exact number remained uncertain as rescue teams continued their search for survivors.
Images from the scene depicted boats surrounding the partially submerged wing and what appeared to be the mangled wreckage of the aircraft's fuselage.
Authorities reported Thursday that at least 28 bodies have been recovered from the icy waters of the Potomac River following the collision of an American Airlines jet, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, with an Army helicopter while landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington.
Officials stated that the search for additional casualties is ongoing, but they do not anticipate finding any more survivors. This incident, if confirmed, would mark the deadliest air crash in the United States in nearly 24 years.
The plane's body was discovered upside down and broken into three sections in waist-deep water, while the wreckage of the helicopter was also located.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that the midair collision occurred around 9 p.m. ET when American Airlines flight 5342, arriving from Wichita, Kansas, struck the military Blackhawk helicopter while approaching the airport runway.
The jet, a Canadian-made Bombardier CRJ-701 twin-engine aircraft, was at an altitude of approximately 400 feet and traveling at about 140 miles per hour when it suddenly lost altitude over the Potomac River. American Airlines confirmed that 60 passengers and four crew members were on the aircraft, while three soldiers are believed to have been on the helicopter - which was on a training mission.
Emergency responders, including DC Fire and EMS, the Metropolitan Police Department, and multiple federal agencies, are coordinating recovery efforts in the river.
During an early morning press conference, Fire and EMS Chief John A. Donnelly, Sr. said that 300 first responders are helping at the rescue site, and that they are dealing with windy, choppy conditions, and cold water.
FOX 5 meteorologist Mike Thomas reported that water temperatures in the Potomac River near the crash site were approximately 35.4 degrees Fahrenheit at the time of the incident. According to the National Weather Service, individuals exposed to such temperatures could lose consciousness within 10 to 15 minutes.
