While landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday shortly before 9 p.m., American Airlines Flight 5342 collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter and crashed into the icy Potomac River.

Southwest's CEO Bob Jordan said "our hearts go out" to people on the American Airlines flight involved in Wednesday night’s midair collision with a helicopter in the nation’s capital.

American Airlines CEO Robert Isom shared a letter to all employees sharing updates and resources following the deadly mid-air collision.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said late on Thursday he will soon announce a plan to reform the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after a devastating collision between an American Airlines regional plane and an Army helicopter killed 67 people.
