As a result of a collision between a military helicopter and a transport plane not far from Washington on the Potomac River in the evening, an aviation disaster occurred. According to the words of the mayor of the city, Muriel Bowser, rescue and emergency operations are continuing at the site of the incident.
According to the authorities, rescuers participating in the search and rescue operation on the Potomac River after the collision of the transport plane with the helicopter in the airspace above Washington, collided with 'very difficult' conditions due to 'ice', 'strong winds', and 'fog', but so far there is no information about the number of those affected.
"The conditions are very difficult for rescuers," said John Donnelly, head of the emergency service in Washington, at a press conference.
