Now, audio from Air Traffic Control has provided insight into the moments directly before and directly after the crash.<\/p>\n<p>Audio obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/live-news\/plane-crash-dca-potomac-washington-dc-01-29-25#cm6iup34o001c3b6mzn8amadb\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNN<\/a> from LiveATC.net captured the exchange between ATC operators and the U.S. Army UH-60 Black Hawk as they noticed the helicopter getting closer to the passenger plane \u2014 a Bombardier Canadian Region Jet (CRJ) 700 operating as American Eagle Flight 5342, traveling from Wichita, Kansas to Reagan National Airport.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Listen: DC air traffic control before crash | Banfield\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5v-AUHX6ZOY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;%23038;origin=https:\/\/wegotthiscovered.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\u201cPAT25, do you have a CRJ in sight?\u201d asked an air traffic controller at Washington Tower. He then can be heard telling the military aircraft to \u201cpass behind the CRJ.\u201d Though initial reports claimed the helicopter didn&#8217;t respond, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hUXifec7wik\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News<\/a> has indicated that they responded on a different tower frequency.<\/p>\n<p>A subsequent transmission seems to capture the moment operators witnessed the crash, with an audible \u201coooh\u201d and \u201coh my\u201d audible in the background. Right after the crash, another aircraft calls into ATC asking \u201cTower, did you see that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the audio contains multiple orders and requests from Washington Tower to other airborne aircraft to land or reroute, with increasing commotion heard in the background. Though the PAT call sign usually stands for Priority Air Transport used to fly senior military officers, Joint Task Force-National Capital Region media chief Heather Chairez told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/us\/live-news\/plane-crash-dca-potomac-washington-dc-01-29-25#cm6j0x8ni000m3b6mj1mp5uiz\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CNN<\/a> that the helicopter was on a training flight.<\/p>\n<p>According to Tony Stanton from Australia\u2019s Civil Aviation Safety Authority speaking to the outlet, Washington Tower has two radio frequencies, one dedicated to rotorcraft (rotary-wing aircraft), and another dedicated to other planes. \u201cSo in this circumstance, you would have had the Black Hawk talking to the tower on one frequency, and you would have had Flight 5342 talking to the tower on another frequency,\u201d Stanton explained. <\/p>\n<p>Other transcripts with no available audio as yet depict the moments following the collision, where the tower alerted another pilot, per CNN and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/air-traffic-controller-audio-captures-moments-before-after-washington-plane-2025-01-30\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reuters<\/a>. \u201cCrash, crash, crash, this is an alert three,\u201d says one controller. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-quote-icon is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>I don\u2019t know if you caught earlier what happened, but there was a collision on the approach end of [runway 33]. We are going to be shutting down operations for the indefinite future if you want to go back to the gate. Highly suggest you guys coordinate with the company. Let me know what you want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The pilot then says, \u201cYeah, we were on short final, and we saw flares from the opposite side of the Potomac,\u201d followed by the controller remarking that \u201cApparently both aircraft involved are in the river,\u201d and that \u201ca search and rescue will be ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The explosion occurred mid-air over the icy Potomac River which has no doubt impacted rescue operations and hopes for survival due to the risk of hypothermia. The passenger jet was carrying 64 people, including former Russian world champion figure skaters Evgenia Shishkova, 53, and Vadim Naumov, 56, and 14 U.S. figure skaters, along with their parents and several coaches, while the Black Hawk helicopter had three soldiers on board.
