American Airlines CRJ-700 collides with helicopter near Reagan National

My niece lived in a condo on South Glebe Road in Arlington (it was a mixed use development so there was a Harris Teeter in the building) which basically overlooked the south area of the runway as it was right before crossing over the river into Alexandria. Having only been there once and it being nighttime, I can't get any bearings where this footage is coming from.

I can't believe, having seen the footage of the crash now, the helicopter didn't have a visual of the plane.

Yeah, I believe that's the Potomac Yard area you're describing.

The video I have seen is from different locations - and I'm sure there are many cameras in that general area. If you can see the river and the activity is behind it, that's going to be from the DC or Maryland side. If the river is on the other side of the activity, it's taken from VA.
