Search and rescue efforts were underway in the Potomac River after a plane carrying 64 people collided with a Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers Wednesday night while trying to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport outside Washington, D.C.
All flights at the airport were grounded.
"A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local time," the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The plane, operated by American Airlines, had taken off from Wichita, Kansas, the FAA said.
The plane was carrying 60 passengers and four crewmembers, CBS News learned.
Multiple sources and an Army official told CBS News that an Army Black Hawk was involved in the collision. The Army later confirmed the chopper was based out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia. A Defense Department official told CBS News that three soldiers were aboard the Black Hawk helicopter, with no senior officials on board.
"The accident happened in the river," a dispatcher said in scanner audio obtained from air traffic control. "Both the helicopter and the plane crashed in the river."
In a statement provided to CBS News, American Airlines said that it was "aware of reports that American Eagle flight 5342, operated by PSA, with service from Wichita, Kansas (ICT) to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) has been involved in an incident."
