Arkansas' Second District Representative French Hill expressed his condolences following the deadly plane crash at D.C.'s Reagan National Airport.

The Reagan National Airport closed after a helicopter and another aircraft collided nearby. D.C. officials say a small aircraft was reported down in the Potomac River.

The tragic, midair collision in Washington, D.C. is putting a spotlight on air traffic controller shortages. It's a nationwide problem, but the area around NYC is especially hard hit.
