I'm sure the audio has been posted but I don't think this video has. VASAviation always does a good job.

Hegseth just said that even though it was a training flight, the crew was experienced. It was a routine training flight, not the training of a new guy.
Weird situation all around.

How the hell does that even happen

Flightaware shows that flight as landing normally, so either the site is wrong or only the helicopter went down

I'm not seeing anywhere else saying it's a commercial flight

I pray the plane landed safely!
Edit: Fox News is just now reporting on it

Holy shite that is terrible to see that

Local news reporting the plane is in the river.
Google search shows that plane for American holds up to 70 or so people.

CNN made it a point to say Marine One flys that route in an almost giddy tone
