Video recorded by bystanders shows the harrowing moment when the 2 aircraft crashed into one another, causing an explosion over the nation's capital.

The Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines flight was alerted to the plane’s presence by air control twice.

The pilots of the American Airlines plane that collided with a U.S. Army helicopter late Wednesday night have been identified. Jonathan Campos, 34, was the captain of American Airlines Flight 5342 when an Army helicopter apparently flew into its path as it prepared for landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., CNN reported.

Robert Isom said said airline is focused on passengers, crew members, first responders, families and loved ones.

He indicated 27 bodies had been recovered from the airplane, and one from the helicopter.

The plane collided with a military helicopter over the Potomac, killing 67 people. The four-member plane crew was based in Charlotte.

"I walk here every day. I see helicopters going around. I see planes coming in like crazy. I never thought that would happen."

A funeral will be held today for Jonathan Campos, the American Airlines pilot killed in last month's plane crash near Washington, D.C.
