Officials in Wichita, Kansas, are grappling with the aftermath of a devastating collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a military helicopter near Washington, DC. The flight originated in Wichita, but authorities are currently unable to determine how many passengers were locals and how many were merely passing through the city.
During a news conference on Thursday, Wichita Mayor Lily Wu stated that they do not have access to the manifest at this time, making it challenging to ascertain the exact composition of the passengers on board the ill-fated flight.
