Passenger Plane and Military Helicopter Collide Near Washington, DC, Prompting Major Emergency Response

A mid-air collision between a passenger jet and a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport has led to an extensive emergency operation and the temporary suspension of airport activities.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the crash occurred around 9 p.m. on Wednesday. The aircraft involved were a PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700, operating as an American Airlines flight, and a US Army Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.

The passenger plane had 60 passengers and four crew members on board, while the military helicopter carried three personnel.

Emergency Response and Concerns Over Survivors

Reports from Al Jazeera described a massive response at the crash site, with emergency teams deploying boats and rescue vehicles.

β€œThis is the primary airport serving the Washington, DC, area,” a source stated. β€œWe believe both aircraft are in the river, which is deeply concerning. Survival time in this water is estimated to be no more than 90 minutes.”

Unconfirmed Casualties and Investigation Underway

Authorities have not yet released official information regarding casualties. However, Senator Ted Cruz confirmed fatalities without specifying numbers.

Video footage circulating on social media allegedly captures the moment of impact, followed by an explosion. Preliminary reports suggest an air traffic controller instructed the helicopter to pass behind the approaching aircraft just moments before the crash.

Government officials, including President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, have been briefed on the incident. Trump stated he had been β€œfully briefed” on the β€œterrible accident”.

Airport Closure and Investigation

The FAA announced that Ronald Reagan National Airport will remain closed until at least 5 a.m. on Friday. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Department of Defense have launched an official investigation into the cause of the crash.

If confirmed, this would be the first fatal crash involving a US commercial airline since 2009, when Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed in Buffalo, New York, killing 49 people.

Ronald Reagan National Airport, located just outside Washington, DC, is a critical hub for domestic air travel.

FG Prepares for Possible Deportation of Nigerians from the U.S.

 

The Nigerian government is gearing up to receive any of its citizens who might be deported from the United States as part of a wider crackdown on illegal immigration.

According to the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), an inter-agency committee has already been set up to handle the situation. Abdur-Rahman Balogun, the commission’s Director of Media and Corporate Affairs, confirmed in an interview that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is leading the effort to manage any potential mass deportation.

What’s the Current Situation?

Reports indicate that about 3,690 Nigerians in the U.S. could face deportation. This comes as part of former President Donald Trump’s renewed immigration enforcement targeting undocumented migrants. A document from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), titled β€œNoncitizens on the ICE Non-Detained Docket with Final Orders of Removal by Country of Citizenship”, sheds light on the numbers.

As of November 24, 2024, ICE reports that there are 1,445,549 non-citizens with final deportation orders in the U.S. Among them, Mexicans and Salvadorans top the list, with 252,044 and 203,822 individuals slated for removal. Nigerians, along with other African nationals, are also among those at risk.

Is Nigeria Expecting Mass Deportations?

At the moment, NiDCOM says it has not received any official communication about Nigerians being processed for deportation. However, in light of ICE’s reports, the Nigerian government is staying proactive. The inter-agency committee handling the situation includes:

  • Ministry of Foreign Affairs
  • NiDCOM (Nigerians in Diaspora Commission)
  • Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs
  • Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA)

These agencies are working together to ensure a smooth reintegration process should deportations occur.

Trump’s Immigration Crackdown in Full Swing

Last week, U.S. authorities ramped up deportation efforts, arresting hundreds of migrants. Some were even flown out of the country on military aircraft. Given these developments, Nigerians living in the U.S. without legal status might soon find themselves under increased scrutiny.

What’s Next?

While it remains uncertain how many Nigerians will actually be deported, the Federal Government appears prepared to assist returnees. For Nigerians in the U.S. facing immigration issues, now might be the time to seek legal counsel and explore all available options.
