I read it’s a white hawk, marine one type helo, but not marine one. Is that what DC police fly? Sounds like no survivors.


It’s never called marine one unless the president is on board.

I saw one of these videos and it looked like the helicopter went right toward the plane…

On purpose or out of control?

What does this or the shortest runway comment have to do with this crash? It appears the helicopter went right into the plane.


PP lives in Alexandria and doesn't like plane noise.

What am I looking at wrong? To me it looks like the helicopter just...combusts on its own while the plane flies away.

DCA needs to get shut down or significantly reduce its load. Posters are right. It's a dangerous airport.

A smaller commercial jet (an American Eagle plane) and a helicopter. The helicopter collided with the plane. Not sure whose helicopter it was at this point - what branch of the military or police etc.


It’s a CRJ.

The helicopter clearly was where it shouldn't have been.

Truly sad for all involved.

They’ve pulled bodies out…already several fatalities. This is so awful

DCA has the shortest runway in the country.
So dangerous.

60 people involved?
