An American Airlines plane carrying 64 passengers collided midair with a military helicopter carrying three passengers. Both fell into the Potomac River. The tragedy occurred just before 9 PM Wednesday.

First responders were on the scene en masse within 10 minutes of the accident. Divers went into the Potomac searching for survivors. For several hours afterward, it was a rescue mission as many hoped survivors could be found.

His answer was to blame the DEI initiatives that President Obama and Biden had implemented. Trump blamed the lack of qualified personnel in the air traffic control tower. This was done while the investigation had just begun, and no determination on how the accident had happened had been made.
