Man reveals heartbreaking final text from wife on doomed American Airlines plane A man whose wife was on board American Airlines Flight 5342 when it crashed with a US military helicopter and plunged into the Potomac River has said he is ‘just praying someone is pulling her out’.
So too were several US ice skaters, family members and coaches returning from a camp following figure skating championships in Wichita, governing body US Figure Skating said.
An American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas collided with a helicopter while approaching Ronald Reagan National Airport.
In a heartbreaking interview, Hamaad Raza revealed his wife was on the flight from Wichita, Kansas, to Washington and had texted him just 20 minutes before she was due to land.
No official death toll has been given so far but US Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas, where the flight originated, suggested most if not all those on board had been killed.
