A massive search is underway this morning after a midair collision between an American Airlines passenger jet carrying 64 people and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter with three soldiers on board near Reagan National Airport, just outside Washington, DC, officials said.
• No survivors yet: Fatalities have been confirmed and rescuers have not yet pulled any survivors from the freezing waters of the Potomac River, a law enforcement source said.
The plane was traveling Wednesday night from Wichita, Kansas.
• Figure skaters: Several members of the figure skating community were aboard the jet, US Figure Skating said in a statement.
Separately, Russia’s state news agency said two world-champion Russian figure skaters were on the plane.
