No survivors have been found or expected, authorties said Thursday at an early-morning press conference, after a late-night midair crash between a passenger plane and Army helicopter near Washington, D.C.
Authorities have moved to recovery efforts in the crash, which President Trump and his newly-minted Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy both said they believed was preventable.
The flight, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, was en route from Wichita, Kansas to Washington, D.C. It collided with an Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
The crash is creating a tragic background for a busy day of confirmation hearings in the Senate that are crucial for Trump.
Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Kash Patel will simultaneously appear for confirmation hearings that could make or break their chances of getting across the finish line, setting up a triple-box of events that are set to command the attention of Washington as GOP members try to keep their unblemished run of confirming Trump’s nominees.
