客机与陆军直升机在波托马克河上空相撞：67人全部遇难
2025年1月29日晚约8时48分（美东时间），在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿县罗纳德·里根华盛顿国家机场东南约半英里的波托马克河上空，一架客机与一架陆军直升机相撞，两机坠入河中，机上67人全部遇难。
客机是 PSA 航空运营的美国航空5342号航班，机型为 CRJ700 支线喷气客机，当天从堪萨斯州 Wichita 的 Dwight D. Eisenhower 国家机场起飞，正向里根国家机场33号跑道作最后进近，机上有60名乘客与4名机组人员。
直升机是陆军一架 UH-60L「黑鹰」，呼号 PAT25，机上3名机组人员，当天从弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县贝尔沃堡的 Davison 陆军机场起飞，执行飞行员年度标准化评估飞行，使用夜视镜。
撞击发生在约300英尺高度。华盛顿特区消防与急救部门连夜组织大规模搜救，数百名救援人员在低温河水中作业。1月30日上午，当局宣布行动由搜救转为打捞，并表示不认为有生还者；当时已寻回28具遗体。
联邦航空管理局（FAA）当晚表示，FAA与国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）将展开调查、由NTSB主导。NTSB当晚派出调查组赶赴现场。这是2001年11月以来美国死伤最惨重的航空事故。

Airliner and Army Helicopter Collide Over the Potomac River: All 67 Aboard Killed
At about 8:48 p.m. Eastern time on January 29, 2025, over the Potomac River about a half mile southeast of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington County, Virginia, a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter collided in midair and fell into the river. All 67 people aboard the two aircraft were killed.
The jet was American Airlines flight 5342, a CRJ700 regional jet operated by PSA Airlines. It had departed Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport in Kansas and was on final approach to Runway 33 at Reagan National, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members.
The helicopter was a U.S. Army UH-60L Black Hawk, callsign PAT25, with three crewmembers aboard. It had departed Davison Army Airfield at Fort Belvoir in Fairfax County, Virginia, on a flight for the pilot's annual standardization evaluation, flown with night-vision goggles.
The collision occurred at about 300 feet. District of Columbia fire and emergency crews mounted a large overnight search as hundreds of responders worked in the cold river. On the morning of January 30, officials said the operation had shifted from rescue to recovery, that they did not believe there were survivors, and that 28 bodies had been recovered at that point.
The Federal Aviation Administration said that night that the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) would investigate, with the NTSB leading. The NTSB sent a go-team to the scene that night. It was the deadliest U.S. aviation accident since November 2001.
This story records the official account from the first two days after the crash; the cause was then still under investigation, and no cause is stated here.
