breaking news, a small commercial American Airlines plane crashes into Potomac River near Reagan National after colliding with a military helicopter

The airliner had about 60 passengers and four crewmembers aboard. It's not known how many were aboard the helicopter. At least four people have been recovered and were rushed to hospitals.

An FAA statement says: "A PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet collided in midair with a Sikorsky H-60 helicopter while on approach to Runway 33 at Reagan Washington National Airport around 9 p.m. local [Eastern] time. PSA was operating Flight 5342 as American Airlines. It departed from Wichita, Kansas."

A defense official and an Army official told NBC News the helicopter was an Army Black Hawk.
