Just_Chris Posted January 30 Posted January 30 I can't imagine the Potomac is very warm this time of year, anyone who survived probably plunged in to freezing water, I read the aircraft was only 25 feet above the water when it collided with the blackhawk although I don't know how accurate that is.

retrofade Posted January 30 Posted January 30 My company's CEO isn't too terribly far away on the Potomac and it happened while we were on a call tonight. Quote

A few of my very close friends went to Georgetown and I'd fly in to DCA a lot, the descent is one of a kind. Quote

Hashbrowns Posted January 30 Posted January 30 Army confirms 3 soldiers in Blackhawk (none high-ranking). 60 passengers and 4 crew on AA5342. Doesn’t seem like high probability to survive that crash. Quote
