A man has disclosed what led him to believe that anything was amiss after losing his wife and 12-year-old daughter in the tragic American Airlines disaster.
On Wednesday, January 29, just before 9 p.m., a Black Hawk US Army helicopter and an American Airlines-owned PSA Airlines aircraft collided in midair.
When the accident occurred, Flight 5342 was getting ready to arrive at Ronald Reagan National Airport, which is close to Washington, D.C.
The wreckage of the chopper and the plane, which had 60 passengers and four crew members on board, fell into the Potomac River.
Three individuals on the helicopter and 64 people on the commercial plane are thought to be dead, and a “recovery” mission is still in progress.
A man’s wife and his 12-year-old daughter, who had previously survived cancer, are among the victims.
She was so proud of herself in figure skating for the progress she had made… Making that team was one of her life goals. And she achieved it. And she was just so, so proud of herself.”
When Beyer saw something was not right, he was taking the couple’s 6-year-old son to the airport to pick up his wife and daughter.
