Here are all the details about Reagan National Airport, which reopened Thursday morning after the nearby crash over the Potomac River on Wednesday night.

Families gathered at Reagan National Airport on Wednesday were met with devastating news as their loved ones' plane collided mid-air with a military helicopter.

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — All 64 people aboard an American Airlines jet that collided with an Army helicopter were feared dead in what was likely to be the worst U.S. aviation disaster in almost a quarter century, officials said Thursday.

The U.S. Army said the helicopter that collided with a passenger jet was a UH-60 Blackhawk based at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. A crew of three soldiers were onboard the helicopter, an Army official said. The helicopter was on a training flight.

An American Eagle jet and an Army helicopter collided over Washington on Wednesday night. The number of casualties is unclear, and a search-and-rescue mission is ongoing.

U.S. District Court Judge John Coughenour’s ruling in the case brought by Washington and three other states is the first in what is sure to be a long legal fight over the order’s constitutionality.

U.S. District Judge John Coughenour, a Ronald Reagan appointee, told the court he could not remember in his more than 40 years on the bench seeing a case so "blatantly unconstitutional."

The judge, an appointee of Republican former President Ronald Reagan, dealt the first legal setback to the hardline policies on immigration that are a centerpiece of Trump's second term as president.
