Two new videos have been posted showing the collision of an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a PSA/American Airlines passenger plane on approach to Reagan National Airport. The collision caused a fireball and brought the two aircraft down in the Potomac River on the Maryland side, just south of Washington, D.C.

Screen image from an unsourced viral video shows the collision of an Army helicopter and a PSA/American Airlines plane near Reagan National Airport, January 29, 2025.

The flight put of Wichita, Kansas had sixty passengers and four crew members while the Army helicopter out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia (fifteen miles south of Reagan) had three soldiers aboard. The Army says the crew was on a training mission when the collision occurred. There are no reports of survivors. While no official word has been given, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) at a press briefing indicated the loss of life was total.

The first video to surface is looking south toward the airport from the Kennedy Center in Northwest Washington. The video was posted by independent journalist Alejandro Alvarez:

An eyewitness account received by independent reporter Dave Statter, “Basically I was west of the airport on my roof and had a clear view of the regional jet circling onto the final for runway 33. From my perspective it looked like the helicopter crossed directly in front of the jet and there was a very brief fireball and I could hear the aircraft hit the water.”
