All feared dead following Washington D.C. plane crash

Описание: At least 27 bodies have been recovered Thursday morning after a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter collided midair Wednesday night near Reagan National Airport (DCA), causing both aircraft to crash into the Potomac River and forcing a ground stop at the airport, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.

"At this point, we don't believe there are any survivors from this accident," said D.C. Fire and EMS John Donnelly. "We have recovered 27 people from the plane, from the helicopter. The District Office of Medical Examiner has been on reuniting these bodies with their loved ones, and we will continue to work and reunite them."
