WRC (NBC) reports that the helicopter and the plane landed close to the shore. The plane is split in two and is resting in seven feet of water.

The helicopter is upside down and bobbing, sometimes on the surface and sometimes, under water.

Divers have gone into the plane, but not the helicopter.

I should note that, if it weren't for the adjacent building, I'd be able to see the airfield from my home.

Although I live only a few miles from DCA and am in the approach path to runways 19 and 15, I did not see or hear anything regarding the reported accident. It is eerily quiet, though, for a Wednesday at 9:30pm.

There has been an incident at DCA airport in Washington, possibly involving a collision between two aircraft. The airfield is currently closed until further notice. Inbound aircraft are diverting. We will share more details as we learn them. flightradar24.com/airport/dca

FOX 5 DC has a camera pointed at DC with the steam title "aircraft crash in Potomac River near DCA" but I can't see anything and there are no details at this time

Prior top 10 for "80s season" included.  248 days from start to finish in 2023 was the record before 286 this year (assuming Thursday was the last 80 of the year).  The list runs from 248 to 224 days. This year was 286 days.

Assuming Thurs was the last day aoa 80 in DC this year, it will be 286 days from start to finish for our 80s season. Both the first and last instances were records for earliest and latest.

Notables: Catapulted over old record of 248 days. 2023, 2022 no 2 and 3 most. #dcwx

In addition to all the other things it shouldn't be today (11/6), it probably shouldn't be 79F with a dew point of 63F at KDCA.

As we take-ify about the campaign, the fact that this situation is to a greater or lesser extent the product of sustained inattention, obtuseness, irrationality, & irresponsibility, and so to that extent formally inexplicable, will pose a persistent analytical challenge.

Imagine in another few decades when summers like this are the norm.

Lately, I've been doing all my outdoor exercise before 10:00am to beat the heat, but even that doesn't feel like it helps all that much sometimes.
