    It looks like the helicopter aimed right for the plane and both were lost.

      Incredible. January too. Reminded me of the Air Florida icy river crash in 1980 or so.

          A DC police helicopter joins the search now, a MD state police copter just stopped at Andrews

          Nothing else in the air over DC

            My condo used to overlook Reagan (5 miles away) and of course there’s nonstop planes landing and taking off and also dozens of helicopters each night but rarely did they cross into the flight paths for Reagan. Either it’s deliberate or more likely an absolute fluke. Tragedy.

              I remember that one, I left work early because of the snow

              We watched Lennie Skutnick - the hero on live tv, an innocent bystander, he dove into the Potomac and rescued a passenger, maybe it was a stewardess

                                That’s from the pilot flying just behind the plane that crashed.

                                      That's just awful.

                                        So the passenger jet crashed too, correct?

                                          Oh yes. Both aircraft in icy water. Explosion too. Very doubtful for the ~65 people
