[News] American Airlines flight from Wichita Kansas to Reagan National Airport has crashed into the Potomac River

That seems quite a big fire for a small plane.

It crashed shortly after take-off so its tank of fuel would have been full, I presume. I have also seen reports that it crashed into cars (and there is video of houses being on fire) so possibly vehicles on the ground also exploded.

looking at the footage I am at a loss as to how that collision could ever happen .....it almost looked deliberate , how the BH operator didn't see the civilian craft is unfathomable ....RIP. what a shit way to go.

They're quoting directly from the FAA and also the Office for Personnel Management here so the reports seem quite credible.

It also appears that the OPM are attempting to backtrack by although admitting air traffic controllers were sent the email with the offer to resign they weren't eligible for the offer, which begs the question why send them the emai with the offer in the first place....

Air traffic controllers were initially offered buyouts and told to consider leaving government
