- Morning scene on the Potomac River where recovery efforts continue after an American Airlines regional passenger jet with 64 people on board and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided and crashed into the frigid river near Reagan Washington National Airport.
The third crew member aboard the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an airliner above Washington has been identified as the 28-year-old pilot Captain Rebecca Lobach, after a delay in releasing her name stirred questions about her background.
A former aide to Joe Biden, Lobach was taking her annual proficiency evaluation under the supervision of the instructor pilot, Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, 39. Lobach had more than 450 hours of flying experience, while Eaves had more than 1,000.
The third soldier on board was the crew chief, Staff Sergeant Ryan O’Hara, 28. All three were killed on Wednesday when their helicopter collided with American Eagle Flight 5342, sending both aircraft plunging into the icy Potomac River.

The divers who had to locate and remove the victims are amazing heroes. That has to be a horribly gruesome job, made even worse being under water. Probably most of the victims were not in one piece. Prayers for all.
Praying for the families for all that they are going through right now❤
My God, that aircraft is shredded
Because of the helicopter blades
And explosion
Oh dear lord. There must be people still strapped in their seats. Just horrific 😢😢😢😢
Do you really think they would do somthing that stupid? Really?
For heavens sake….they would NEVER do that to the passengers! Rest in peace to all on the plane and helicopter…
This is far more unbelievable than just a car accident. Midair collisions don’t really happen and aviation is mostly safe and the commercial plane crashes chances are super slim. It’s hard to believe that this accident is real and it wasn’t the plane’s fault but the helicopter’s. Those passengers were nearly on their way but then ended up in a crash. Rest in peace to all of them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@The_Happy_Aviation_Enthusiast - They were 3 seconds from landing. It’s sickening. The chopper was 100 feet too high, and the plane was descending for its landing from 400 to 300 feet and they collided at 300’. It appears the chopper had an aircraft in sight, but not the one it struck. The tower should have been clearer with its instructions saying there’s multiple crafts and where each was located such as 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock. I don’t think the chopper ever saw the ill fated plane at all.
They make sure all bodies are recovered before the pieces of the plane and chopper are removed.
Unless a body happens to fall from the wreckage while it’s being hoisted.
We need to know why that helicopter did what it did and we need to know the truth.
thats self driving helicopters for ya..
The pilot was a lesbian and girlfriend of bidens press secretary, the black one “John-Pierre” she was a VIP Escort at the White House, recently escorted A recipient of the presidential freedom medal.. A world famous fashion designer Ralph Lauren. She had been in the army aviation for five years but never deployed because of her status at the white house. She was from N.C. And commission through ROTC.
@@daveshondel5108 yes, she was probably about to get kicked out for being woke, and commited suicide, and decided to take other out with her in retailiation. it looked so intentional.
@@daveshondel5108 With less than 500 miles of training, which is a spit in the ocean. Totally unqualified.
@@daveshondel5108why does her relationship status matter?
I watched the first news it was heart breaking and still is people must talk show there emotions be human peace to all
On one video you can see 1 maybe 2 bodies falling out of a piece of fuselage into the water. The boatmen didnt see them fall but heard the splash. Just horrific. So bloody avoidable this crash. 😢💔💔💔💔🙏🏻
In this video?
@@Jayytheeggno it was earlier on I think. At around 20mins in this you can hear an official confirm that gruesome things were coming out of the airplane and asking them to not zoom in
I was wondering if all the bodies have been recovered yet
@@sandywhite9796 yes per a few news outlets 😢❤
My God! So heart breaking … 😢😢
From what is known, it is clear that the helicopter was to blame for the crash. Lives lost unnecessarily, Tragedy.
How do you spell blame. D E I.
I HEAR SOME PEOPLE LAUGHING. YOU ARE SOME SICK PEOPLE. WHERE IS YOUR RESPECT?
I wouldn’t even be talking if I was just watching out of respect! ❤️
There are A LOT of foreign accounts on TH-cam. Many of which are from places and people who delight in seeing harm come to our nation and its citizens.
What words: eirie, haunting, profound sadness, sorrow, pause for thought, poignant, reverence.
That is blessed, sacred metal coming out of the river; that is wherein those prescious souls departed this earth; their tomb. I pray that one day soon something magnificent and monmental arises out of these waters and ashes to honor and remember the departed - after proper time for respect, grief, and mourning.
In Jesus Name
Amen
I pray that the good and powerful Lord lifted their souls away before this accident took place.
@@lblough9881Amen.
Accidental or intentional, let the truth be spoken...
My condolences to the families for thisterrible loss🙏😭
03:07:08
I feel bad for the passengers that sat on the right window side of the plane. That is where the helicopter first hit the plane and it is more than likely those passengers were shredded and killed instantly.
Spencer was on that side 😢
Wow. I guess that CRJ must've broken into many pieces when it struck the water, and the mud.
If anyone has trouble understanding the Helios involvement go to Captain Steve’s analysis it’s super helpful,
My heart goes out to the families that may come upon this....please move quickly on...how dear the worped media show this...dont you have any dignit and enpithly for the families? What is the need to cause for pain for them just for the sake of the sick ones who want to see this.
They say, for every action is a reaction, so what is at no fault?
Lamentablemente no podemos devolver la vida a los que la han perdido........pero esta desgracia tiene que servir para aprender......los accidentes ocurren .....los errores existen.....pero hay algo que se puede y se debe hacer.......apartar todo ese trasiego de helicópteros..... pululando en medio de un aeropuerto tan concurrido........acaso no hay otros lugares ....no hay otra forma de hacerlo ....sin poner en riesgo otra aeronave....con cantidad de personas...... Tiene que haber otra forma de hacerlo
It’s amazing that this hasn’t happened earlier with all the cloudy and foggy conditions that happen from time to time. This happened on a clear night. Totally sad and avoidable, in my opinion.
Yes it’s preventable and the helicopter can just move other direction. The air traffic control is responsible for guiding all aircrafts to prevent collisions.
Geesh how come people just see the dark side of things and not realize they are trying not to lose any piece of the puzzle... And YES !!! the deceased !
Este es un accidente muy triste, increíble que el helicóptero no pudiera girar para no chocar el avión, es muy lamentable, Dios fortalezca a las familias, es demasiado triste.
Salute
Very sad.
I feel nothing but pure DISGUST for any news/media outlet that films unwanted images of human remains. Obviously that was being said by the man = speaking to reporters, telling them to film “the barge” but not closer. And the authorities who do salvage should be strongly criticized for moving that large piece of the plane without 100% assurance that remains WERE NOT IN VIEW. This is UNFORGIVABLE.
Why are you watching it if you hate this kind of media coverage 🤔
There is always the "off" button.
How do you know they didnt?
How are the salvage operators supposed to insure they can retrieve the wreckage from ice cold water and that no human remains would show? Do you realize the difficulty and danger involved in just recovering the wreak? Do you expect them to exponentially increase that risk by doing what you suggest?
@ - The wreckage is not moved until all victims and remains are accounted for.
So 😢
A metal graveyard. 😢
Musi to być traumatyczne przeżycie dla pilotów i pasażerów startujących i lądujących nad miejscem tragedii. Współczucia dla ofiar i ich bliskich 😢
Have they gotten the helicopter out yet?
When i saw the accident, I thought there might be a possibility of survival. Looking at the wreckage, I was wrong. The whole accident was more violent than i thought.
😢😢😢
Parts coming out ? So they were shredded
💔💔💔💔
🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
What if the older gentman was behind her harassment and maybe it lead to this.
Human parts all over the broken plane, horrible rip up. Difficult identification, who blew this plane out of the sky?
Why are you showing this… please stop… have some respect.😮
I thought that when it fell into the river it would be in tact. But it’s in pieces, like there was a bomb on board and exploaded then the helicopter hit it, is this what really happened? Did they find the rest of the missing bodies 12, or were they turn apart by the explosion
Helicopters have blades in case you can't figure that out.
This video is very disrespectful for the families I can hear people laughing if I don’t know about what this is very sad
Omg 😮was that a body falling out when they were lowing it 😢
I did not see a body
Looks like a bunch of people’s stuff falling out of the plane as they lowered it
If there was a body there would have been immediate response plus shields from the public eye.
To me looks like the plane exploded on way to landing and the helicopter had no chance to escape and hit into it. These broken parts of the plane prove it was broken up by explosion. Normally if a plane if this size would fall into this river it would not be so broken up. It’s strong metal huge powerful metal.
OMG why was it so broken up was it a bomb?
It was struck by a 6 ton flying object ;;
@@gregsalerno1434 exactly thank you!! You can clearly see that the helo ran into the CRJ. I don’t know why this other commenter is insinuating that there was a bomb.
