1. Red Cross staff and volunteers unloading supplies from van
2. Staff and volunteers wheeling supplies into airport
STORYLINE:
Red Cross workers were seen bringing supplies to Reagan National Airport early Thursday after an American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members onboard collided Wednesday with an Army helicopter.
The crash prompted a large search-and-rescue operation in the nearby Potomac River.
There were multiple fatalities, according to a person familiar with the matter, but the precise number of victims was unclear as rescue crews hunted for any survivors.
Three soldiers were onboard the helicopter, an Army official said.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the Wednesday collision, but all takeoffs and landings from the airport were halted as dive teams scoured the site and helicopters from law enforcement agencies across the region flew over the scene in a methodical search for bodies.
