The uncle of American Airlines pilot Jonathan Campos has opened up about their last phone conversation as he was ‘boarding the plane’.
On Wednesday (January 29) at 8.47pm ET, an American Airlines passenger plane – flight 5342 – and a US military helicopter collided mid-air over the Potomac River, close to the Ronald Reagan National airport in Washington DC.
The passenger plane was carrying 64 passengers and crew and had traveled from Wichita, Kansas, while the army helicopter – a Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk carrying three crew – had taken off from Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
