00:00I speak to you this morning in an hour of anguish for our nation.
00:07Just before 9 p.m. last night, an American Airlines regional jet carrying 60 passengers
00:12and four crew collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying three military service
00:18members over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., while on final approach to Reagan National
00:25Airport.
00:26Both aircraft crashed instantly and were immediately submerged into the icy waters
00:31of the Potomac.
00:33Real tragedy.
00:35The massive search and rescue mission was underway throughout the night, leveraging
00:39every asset at our disposal, and I have to say the local, state, federal, military, including
00:46the United States Coast Guard in particular, they've done a phenomenal job.
00:51So quick, so fast, it was mobilized immediately.
00:56The work has now shifted to a recovery mission.
01:01Sadly, there are no survivors.
01:05This was a dark and excruciating night in our nation's capital and in our nation's
01:10history and a tragedy of terrible proportions.
01:15As one nation, we grieve for every precious soul that has been taken from us so suddenly
01:22and we are a country of, really, we are in mourning.
01:27This has really shaken a lot of people, including people, very sadly, from other nations who
01:33were on the flight.
