President Donald Trump addressed the tragic January 29, 2025, plane crash near Washington, D.C., questioning why the Sikorsky H-60 helicopter didn’t avoid the PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700. He emphasized that the disaster, which killed 30 people so far, could have been prevented.

The crash near Reagan National Airport has led to a challenging search operation in the icy Potomac River. Trump expressed condolences and praised first responders, while Vice President JD Vance and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt offered prayers.

The NTSB is investigating the cause, as families like Hamaad Raza, whose wife was aboard, await news. Harsh weather continues to hinder rescue efforts, with survival chances diminishing.
