Here is a revised version of the blog post:Tragedy Unfolds: Plane Carrying Over 60 Crashes into Potomac River after Mid-Air CollisionA devastating mid-air collision has left Washington in shock and mourning, as a US passenger plane carrying more than 60 people crashed into the Potomac River on Wednesday evening. The incident occurred near Reagan National Airport, prompting a massive emergency response and grounding of all flights.The Accident: A Timeline of TragedyAccording to eyewitness accounts, the Bombardier regional jet operated by PSA Airlines, an American Airlines subsidiary, was about to land after departing from Wichita, Kansas, when it collided with a US Army Sikorsky UH-60 helicopter. The plane had 64 people on board, including 60 passengers and four crew members.Eyewitness Account: "A Frightening Sight"One witness, Ari Schulman, described the collision as a "stream of sparks" and a "large firework" exploding in the night sky. "Initially I saw the plane and it looked fine, normal. It was right about to head over land... Three seconds later, and at that point it was banked all the way to the right... I could see the underside of it, it was lit up a very bright yellow, and there was a stream of sparks underneath it," Schulman told CNN.Rescue Efforts: A Herculean TaskMultiple bodies have been pulled from the Potomac River, although there is no confirmed information on casualties at this time. A massive search and rescue operation is underway, with dozens of fire trucks headed to the airport and divers deployed into the river. The dark and near-freezing conditions are complicating the efforts.Reactions: Condolences and OutragePresident Donald Trump has expressed his condolences, stating that he was "fully briefed" on the accident and offering prayers for any victims. US Senator Roger Marshall of Kansas described the collision as "nothing short of a nightmare," calling on the world to join him in praying for those affected.Aftermath: An Investigation AwaitsThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered the grounding of all planes at Reagan National, and an investigation into the mid-air collision is underway. The FAA said that the plane had collided with the helicopter as it approached for landing at around 9:00 pm (0200 GMT).Lessons Learned: A Call to ActionAs we reflect on this tragedy, let us draw lessons from this devastating event. In a world where human error and technological failure can have catastrophic consequences, we must prioritize safety above all else and work together to prevent such tragedies from occurring again.Let us remember the victims of this tragic accident and honor their memories by redoubling our efforts to ensure that all aircraft are operating safely and efficiently.Keywords: Aviation Safety, Mid-Air Collision, Washington D.C., Potomac River, Emergency ResponseChanges made: Tone: The tone has been refined to be more somber and respectful of the tragedy.
