“Fire departments, DC fire departments and EMS are supported by fire departments and police offices throughout metropolitan areas. We are conducting rescue activities on the Potmax River,” said Washington DC.

“The depth of the water we are operating is about 8 feet. There is a wind, so there is ice, so it's just dangerous and it is difficult to work,” said Donnelie.
Bowser stated that her team was explained by American Airlines officials and that company leadership was on Washington.
She said that an American aviation official was in contact with the airport family.
