JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump collided with Bombardier CRJ700 American Airlines and the Black Hawk helicopter as a bad situation that should have been prevented.
The plane was on a perfect and routine approach to the airport. The helicopter drove straight towards the plane for a long time. At that time the night was clear, the lights on the plane turned on, why the helicopter didn't go up, down, or turn around. Why didn't the control tower tell the helicopter what to do instead of asking if they saw the plane, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
This is a bad situation that should have been prevented. Not good !!! continued the president.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed on Thursday morning local time, the two planes were inside the river.
There were 64 people on the American Airlines plane and three were on military helicopters.
"The focus right now is saving people, and that's the focus of all of our personnel," Bowser said.
He declined to comment on recovery efforts or investigations, which he said would be led by the National Transportation Safety Council.
