A man shared his devastation after losing his wife and daughter in a tragic midair collision on January 29. A Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines-owned PSA Airlines flight collided just before 9 p.m. while Flight 5342 was nearing its landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.
The man learned of the tragedy as his family was aboard the flight, which crashed during its final approach. The incident led to an immediate investigation into what caused the collision between the airplane and the military helicopter, with no survivors reported.
The crash has raised concerns about air traffic safety, especially in crowded airspace near major airports like Ronald Reagan. Authorities are working to determine the cause of the crash as the community mourns the loss.
The man, still in shock, is left seeking answers and grappling with his immense grief.
