What we know about the D.C. plane crash victims - KTLA5 Los Angeles

[Rhiannon12866]

As officials continued their search and recovery operation after an American Airlines regional jet collided with a military helicopter while preparing to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., more than two dozen bodies have been recovered from the Potomac River.

The jet was carrying 64 people while the helicopter had three aboard. It appears all involved were killed, which would make this the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly 24 years. Authorities were continuing to search for remains on Thursday.

KTLA's Sandra Mitchell reports on Jan. 30, 2025.

1. Very sad for this group, and there were/are many more affected

(and yet to be found, I think.)

2. And several had their Moms with them as well, a tragedy for all these families...

And you're right, they are still searching for victims/passengers.
