Families of the victims of American Airlines Flight 5342 visited the crash site Sunday, Feb. 2, where the regional jet and an Army UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter collided midair before plunging into the Potomac River.
The accident, which occurred Wednesday, Jan. 29, near Washington D.C.’s Reagan National Airport, is the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001, killing 67 people.
Recovery crews have identified 55 bodies so far, with efforts continuing as wreckage is pulled from the river. Investigators are analyzing flight data recorders from both aircraft to determine why the collision occurred. Initial findings suggest conflicting altitude readings before impact.
Flight 5342, a regional jet from Wichita, Kansas, was approaching landing when air traffic controllers directed it to switch runways. Moments later, they instructed the Black Hawk to wait for the jet to pass, but received no response before the collision.
Victims included teenage figure skaters from the Skating Club of Boston, two Russian-born coaches, a group of hunters, students from Virginia schools, and two Chinese nationals. The U.S. Army identified the three soldiers aboard the helicopter as Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves.
Over 300 personnel are involved in the recovery, with investigators aiming to release a preliminary report within 30 days. A full investigation may take more than a year.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Panama’s President José Raúl Mulino to reduce foreign influence over the Panama Canal or face consequences from the U.S. on Feb. 2.

Rubio, on his first foreign trip as top U.S. diplomat, met with Mulino to discuss concerns about the canal’s management. The U.S. believes the canal should remain neutral. His allegation is that the canal, formally handed over to Panama by the US in 1999, and since expanded by Panama, is somehow being controlled by China.

China has not participated in the management and operation of the Panama Canal and has never intervened in the Canal affairs. China consistently respects Panama’s sovereignty over the Canal and recognizes the Canal as a permanently neutral international waterway, Mao Ning, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said last month. Mao made the remarks in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement about “retaking” Panama Canal.

“Secretary Rubio made clear that this status quo is unacceptable and that absent immediate changes, it would require the United States to take measures necessary to protect its rights under the treaty,” the U.S. State Department said in a summary of the meeting.

Mulino told reporters after the meeting that Rubio made “no real threat of retaking the canal or the use of force,” and said he did not “feel like there’s a real threat against the treaty and its validity.”

While Rubio toured the canal, about 200 protesters in Panama City marched against his visit, chanting slogans about national sovereignty.

Rubio also pushed for cooperation on reducing illegal immigration and thanked Panama for accepting deported migrants.

A medical jet crashed in a busy Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday, Jan. 31, killing seven people and injuring 22, Mayor Cherelle Parker said Sunday.
Three people on the ground remain in critical condition. The plane, heading to Mexico, went down less than a minute after takeoff. Among the victims were a child who had been receiving medical treatment, her mother, and four crew members. One person on the ground died inside a car hit by debris.
At least 11 homes and some businesses were damaged. Investigators have recovered the plane’s voice recorder and warning system, which could also contain flight data, the agency said on social media. Authorities are still looking into the cause of the crash.
This accident happened just two days after another deadly U.S. air disaster in Washington, D.C. The neighborhood is mourning the loss, and local officials are offering support to affected families.
