Officials say there are no survivors after a plane carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided mid-air with a US Army helicopter over Washington DC.
American Airlines flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, crashed into the Potomac River following the collision.
The plane, a Bombardier CRJ700, was approaching Reagan Washington National Airport 9pm local time on Wednesday (2am GMT), when the collision occurred with a Black Hawk helicopter on a training exercise.
Among the dead on board the commercial flight were members of the American figure skating team, and three soldiers in the helicopter.
Investigators are trying to piece together moments leading up to the disaster.
The Standard podcast is joined by Graham Braithwaite, professor of safety and accident investigation at Cranfield University
In part two, The London Standard’s transport editor Ross Lydall discusses his interview with Lime boss Wayne Ting and the pay-as-you-ride firm’s investment blitz on borough councils to turn more car bays into e-bike drop zones - could it help create “another Amsterdam” cycling haven in the capital?
