An American Airlines regional passenger jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair and crashed into the Potomac River near Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday night.

President Donald Trump posted on social media overnight, "This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented." Asked about Trump’s comments, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told reporters Thursday,

Air traffic controllers asked Flight 5342 to switch runways when coming in to land. Black box recordings from the jet and the military helicopter it collided with will help reveal whether this contributed to the accident.

As investigators look into the cause of Wednesday night's plane crash, pilots share their initial take on the collision.

Authorities say they have identified all but one of the victims of the deadly collision that happened on January 29.
