67 dead as plane, helicopter collide midair in US

A passenger plane and a military helicopter crashed into each other in the air near Ronald Reagan National Airport in the United States. This accident happened on Wednesday night around 9 p.m. The passenger plane, a Bombardier CRJ700, was flying to Washington, D.C., from Kansas, and the military helicopter was a US Army Black Hawk. Sadly, 67 people died in the crash, and officials say there are no survivors.  

The plane carried 60 passengers and 4 crew members, while the helicopter had 3 people on board. Rescue teams have found 28 bodies so far. A Washington fire chief said they are now focused on recovering bodies instead of looking for survivors. This is a very sad and serious event for everyone involved.  

Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu, shared his condolences with the people of the United States and the families of the victims. He praised the rescue workers for their hard work and said Nigeria stands with the U.S. during this sad time. Tinubu expressed hope for brighter days ahead despite the tragedy.
