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.


I’ve read in a few places it was dc police


Yeah I’m also seeing it was a DC police helicopter. WTF?! That’s an incredible error.


It wasn’t-they’ve confirmed it wasn’t them.

Why do all of the rescue agencies and the news keep saying small plane. The people over on r/aviation and r/washdc listening to police scanners have confirmed, it is a regional jet.

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


The plane is hit and explodes. There’s a second plane that is not affected that continues on.


Ooooh. Ok, now I see it. Thanks!

That has nothing to do with the helicopter flying right into a plane that is landing.

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.



Right, that’s why I said not marine one.

I believe you are looking at the plane and thinking it is the helo. Look at a tiny light approaching from the left, that is the helo. The other plane that flies away is just other air traffic.
