Midair Collision Between An American Airlines And An Helicopter
Multiple groups of people travelling on an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter met their end as victims of the collision. These victims consisted of teen figure skaters accompanied by their mothers and coaches along with an Ohio college student who had just returned from her grandfather’s service as well as two Chinese nationals and a hunting team visiting Kansas.
The aircraft transported sixty passengers and four crew members together with four soldiers operating the Black Hawk helicopter just before the plane-to-chopper collision happened in the late hours of Wednesday. The officials report that no individuals survived the accident.
The ongoing search operations on Thursday coincided with collective mourning throughout different communities. Community members led their vigil ceremony at the city council chambers on Thursday.
“The only way we will get through this is together,” said the Rev. Pamela Hughes Mason of Wichita’s St. Paul AME Church.
