A 17-year-old witness had a harrowing experience as he observed a fatal aircraft collision in Washington from a close vantage point. The witness, Jimmy Mazel, recounted being at Gravelly Point Park in Arlington, a mere 1,000 feet away from the main runway of Reagan National Airport, when the tragic incident unfolded.
According to Mazel, he initially noticed a white light descending from the sky, prompting concern and uncertainty about the nature of the object. The darkness of the night obscured the details of the event, leaving Mazel in a state of apprehension until he engaged with reporters who had gathered in Arlington to gather information about the collision.
