American Airlines CRJ-700 collides with helicopter near Reagan National

My son is supposed to be flying out of DCA today. Airport is apparently closed and will reopen at 11 am and his flight was delayed several hours and will be flying out later this afternoon. Hopefully he'll be able to. This is his first time flying alone and he'll meet us in Arkansas for a family thing.

We originally had all planned to fly down last night but decided it would be cheaper to drive. Surreal waking up to this news.
