On Wednesday evening, an American Airlines passenger plane and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter collided in mid-air near Washington's Ronald Reagan Airport.
The aircraft, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, was en route from Kansas. The helicopter, which was on a training flight, had three military personnel on board.
The passenger plane crashed into the Potomac River.
Hours after the crash, emergency officials announced a shift from rescue to recovery operations, with no survivors expected.
