President Donald Trump questioned the actions of the military helicopter pilot and air traffic controllers after an Army Black Hawk and an American Airlines jet carrying 64 collided over the Potomac River near Washington, D.C.
There have been multiple fatalities in the crash, though the final number is not yet known as rescue and recovery efforts are continuing. No survivors had been found as of early morning in Washington, while D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser said bodies had been recovered from both aircraft.
