White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says it appears it was a military helicopter.

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.

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

Local news reporting the plane is in the river.

Google search shows that plane for American holds up to 70 or so people.
