Fox is reporting the collision was between an American flight from Wichita, KS to Regan Intl. and a Blackhawk helo. Other than that, nothing is known yet.

A quick round-up of the latest this morning.
A massive search and rescue effort was underway after an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair with an American Airlines jet at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, on Wednesday evening.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan National Airport (DCA) around 9 p.m. local time.
PSA was operating as Flight 5342 for American Airlines, and it departed from Wichita, Kansas. There was no immediate word on casualties or the cause of the collision.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News' Sean Hannity that President Donald Trump is aware of the situation, calling it tragic. Trump later released a statement, writing: "I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport. May God Bless their souls. Thank you for the incredible work being done by our first responders. I am monitoring the situation and will provide more details as they arise."
Usual ghouls covering themselves in glory from almost the second this horrific tragedy happened.
In a moment of horror and tragedy for our country, CNN is already rushing to point fingers at Trump for the plane crash.

Literally, it was Duffy's first few hours on the job. This is what the American people expect to see.

Light of day will be a blessing to the first responders.
Our prayers go out to everyone.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
