At the time of writing, no survivors of the aircraft have been found. The flight carried 60 passengers and 4 crew members, and the authorities are desperately searching for them.

The Black Hawk had three soldiers on board. There is still no news about surviving victims.

US President Donald Trump later released a statement, which read,

“I have been fully briefed on the terrible accident which just took place at Reagan National Airport. May God Bless their souls.”
