A man has disclosed what led him to believe that anything was amiss after losing his wife and 12-year-old daughter in the tragic American Airlines disaster.
On Wednesday, January 29, just before 9 p.m., a Black Hawk US Army helicopter and an American Airlines-owned PSA Airlines aircraft collided in midair.
When the accident occurred, Flight 5342 was getting ready to arrive at Ronald Reagan National Airport, which is close to Washington, D.C.
The wreckage of the chopper and the plane, which had 60 passengers and four crew members on board, fell into the Potomac River.
Three individuals on the helicopter and 64 people on the commercial plane are thought to be dead, and a “recovery” mission is still in progress.
A man’s wife and his 12-year-old daughter, who had previously survived cancer, are among the victims.
After losing his daughter Brielle and his wife Justyna, 42, while returning to the capital after participating in the US Figure Skating National Development Camp, Andy Beyer spoke with ABCNews.
