America .. 19 bodies were recovered in the two planes accident and fears of the killing of a large number

On Thursday, the American media reported that several bodies from the Botomic River in Washington, after the collision between a transport plane and a helicopter.
CBS News, quoting law enforcement officials, indicated that 19 bodies have been recovered so far from the river.

The crash of the two American planes

Reports also stated that the authorities feared the killing of a large number of people following the collision of a passenger plane, with a “Black Hawk” helicopter of the American army over Washington, which led to the crash of the two planes in the very cold Botomac River.
The American Airlines plane “American Airlines” was carrying 64 people, and the helicopter was carrying three people.
The authorities stated that the flight No. 5342 of the US Airlines was on its way from the city of Whitchita, Kansas, to the National Airport in Washington.

Aircraft crash incidents in America

The authorities said that the plane collided with the military helicopter when it approached the airport runway at nine o’clock yesterday evening, local time (0200 GMT today).
The mayor of Washington, Morel Bawar, said that every Washington is in mourning “for the families who suffer from loss tonight.”
But neither “Bawar” nor the other prominent officials, such as the new Minister of Transport, Sean Duffy, who spoke Thursday morning, provided any information about the death toll.

Victims of the American plane accident

The “NBC News” network reported that the search and rescue teams recovered a number of bodies. About 300 emergency men, among them diving teams, were looking at the very cold Botomac River, under dark and stormy conditions.
The head of the firefighting department in Washington, John Dunili, described the rescue process as “very complicated”, noting the search every square centimeter there to see whether anyone could be found.
President Donald Trump, in a social media post, described the collision as “a bad situation that should have been banned.”
