Two planes collided on the tarmac at Ronald Regan Washington National Airport, which just witnessed the horrible mid-air collision that claimed the lives of 67 people. In a freak accident that left no one hurt, two helicopters grazed each another. The helicopter had at least six New York and New Jersey congressional people on board.
The Federal Aviation Administration stated that it would “investigate” the 12:45 p.m. event on the DCA runway, where an AA Bombardier CRJ900 headed for Charleston, SC bumped an American Airlines flight headed for JFK.
” British Eagle flight 4522, operated by Republic Airways, made contact with American Eagle trip 5490, operated by PSA Airlines, on a DCA runway. We regret to our clients for their expertise, according to a speech from an American Airlines spokeswoman. Security is our top priority. Both aircrafts lost their airfoil, and they were taken out of service for evaluation.
On both aircrafts, at least 143 persons were on board.
Suffolk County Rep. Nick LaLota (R-NY ) posted to X on Thursday,” Serving in Congress has come with some once in a lifetime experiences… like just recently while stationary on the runway at DCA, another plane just bumped into our wing.” ” Heading back to the gate, but fortunately all is fine”! Additionally,” RepGraceMeng is handing out grapes!” he continued, referring to Grace Meng (D-Queens ), who he mentioned.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), as well as Rep. Adriano Espaillat, Ritchie Torres, and Gregory Meeks of New York, were also on the table.
” I’ve flown to Washington for more than ten times. Meng told investigators after departing that this has never occurred to him. ” We immediately experienced some quivering. The crew and the staff were very knowledgeable and kept everything peaceful, serene, and secure,” she said. Some of the people claimed to have spied it on the airplane actually. And as you can see in the rear, a little bit fell off. Right then, they are fixing it. Additionally, they’re renting a unique, brand-new planes for us to take back to New York.
