Yes PAT25 UH60M ArNG helo, audio confirms

Updated to 64 SOB, 60 PAX 4 crew, requested 100 body bags.
Some early vid of collision.. Once in a while get those PAT-** choppers from DC to Dover and back.
You can always tell Pat Army chopper by 2 digit callsign.. Somebody goofed.
With all the cameras around DC sure more will follow :(
AA/PSA regional CRJ-7 aircraft?

Seems a regular daily flight in and out out of DCA.
News says the Blackhawk was cleared in for landing at DCA.. Something went wrong.

News says first large US commercial crash since way back in Buffalo Colgan Air in Feb 2009?
Not sure how a chopper misses those bright landing lights of that PSA.

Video removed by Reddit mods at the link you sent
Seems vid was a fake or unauthorized release. Looked real to me like someone with
cellphone copying ATC screen but these days who knows with AI etc.. Truth from FAA investigation will get out someday.

That sure is dangerous busy traffic space around there. I was always amazed how they kept all
those choppers and DCA traffic nearby separated.Maybe it was an inevitable accident awaiting to happen someday.
Watched a lot of those Airline crash shows where investigators almost always say cause was a series of mistakes
and not just one. :(
