President Donald Trump on Thursday said there were no survivors in the previous day’s midair collision between a military helicopter and passenger plane over the Potomac River, APA reports citing CNN.
“Sadly, there are no survivors,” Trump said from the White House briefing room on Thursday. He said he was speaking to the American people in an “hour of anguish” and asked for a moment of silence at the top of his remarks.
“The work has now shifted to a recovery mission,” Trump said, adding Wednesday was “a dark and excruciating night in our nation’s capital and in our nation’s history.”
