An American Airlines plane carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter outside Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C. Wednesday night. A D.C. fire official said Thursday that “we don't think there are any survivors from this accident" and "we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation.

Anybody who has spent time in D.C., the sky is always full of helicopters. And no one’s willing to say, ‘No, we just can’t have this.’”
