we've heard from kansas senator jerry moran, who said that kansas, they're almost certainly going to know people who are on board that flight from wichita to reagan. do you have any information yet that there were citizens of the commonwealth on that flight? has anyone reached out to you to find out information about their loved ones? >> that they have not reached out directly to me. i think they're going to go to the american airlines. they put up a number. um, but i've got to imagine, you know, flying into international. we obviously serve virginia, district in maryland, but i've got to assume there are residents from the commonwealth and from our adjacent jurisdictions. but i don't know any numbers or names. >> senator, we normally speak with you about intelligence matters, of course, from your high ranking position and former chairmanship of the senate intelligence committee. speaking about national security and the safety of all american citizens. and one thing that this does just at its core is shake, shake people's sense of security and safety in a very different way. in talki

we heard from a kansas senator, jerry moran, who spoke about that flight from wichita to d.c. there's only one direct to dca from the city of wichita, kansas. every day he said he's flown that flight many, many times. he's been on that plane, and that community in wichita is going to be hit really hard by this. he said he'll likely know some of the victims or their families. and so a lot of people are going to be touched by this. what will likely be the deadliest disaster here in washington in decades. and the investigation is just underway. the ntsb is going to lead that. and there are going to be a lot of questions about how this happened, what the faa controller situation was. all of those questions, though, officials have said, need to wait because there is this search and rescue operation still happening and they are putting life above all else. that was the answer from the police chief. when i asked how they have to balance those things between a rescue operation and preserving a scene for a incoming investigation. and he said, look, the search and rescue comes first. th

senator jerry moran from kansas has just posted online learning that a plane inbound from kansas was authorities. please join me in praying for all involved. i mentioned that because it would seem to indicate at least be some collaboration, some corroboration of the idea that this jet was from kansas in terms of where it started. tom, let me just ask you what you were describing about the two aircraft that we believe were involved here, a black hawk helicopter, the american airlines regional jet, which, as you note, is a jet of a size that can carry 50 to 100 people. generally speaking, categorically speaking, we have no idea how many people were involved, were on were on board that jet at this point. yeah. is air traffic control at dca more complex than it would be at other airports of that size? because of the confluence of military and diplomatic travel, the involvement of things like black hawk, black hawk helicopters, along with commercial and private air. >> i think that's accurate. yeah. i mean, listen, i think and we've also had a series of close calls here at reagan airport

>> what i would like to hear is the same type of thing that our senior senator, a republican, jerry moran, uh, a friend of mine from law school has said and done. number one, an outpouring of genuine compassion and help for the families of the victims. and number two, just like senator cantwell, a commitment to once the facts are in, once the ntsb has determined what happened to then investigate and and see what, if any, changes need be made, but to go off on a half baked attack on on people of color. it's that's just it's unacceptable in my view. and i really wish the president wouldn't do those sorts of things. >> what does that do to you in a moment of grief? hearing that from the president, i'm just worried. i'm just wondering what that does to this community the lead editorial in this morning's wichita eagle addresses that very issue. >> and the editorial editor there expressed it very clearly that this is disrespectful. this is not helpful. there are things that can be done that are helpful and obviously, closing those low altitude helicopter routes until we can determine what happe

i'm jerry moran, i'm a united states senator from kansas. and i chair the subcommittee and commerce committee on aviation. so we have really a serious and sad circumstance that we want to be here to be helpful. and we're praying that our responders are safe. and the folks who are on that flight are recovered. the. circumstance i would describe is that, um, i know that flight. i've flown it many times myself. i lobbied american airlines to begin having a direct nonstop flight service to dca. that flight has been in existence about a year, and it is certainly true that, uh, in kansas and in wichita in particular, we're going to know people who are on this flight, know their family members, know somebody. so this is a very personal circumstance as well as an official response. and again, we're we will do everything we can to make certain that we're supportive of the rescue efforts, and we'll do everything we can to make certain that, uh, our subcommittee and congress is engaged in what needs to take place following, uh, the outcome of this even

want to say you couldn't have asked for a better person on the political side in terms of senator jerry moran from kansas, not only has he got a great heart, but he's one of the most knowledgeable people about aviation in washington, d.c. and a dear friend. and so i look forward to him and the work that he's going to do with his committee. but what happened is, is the as the american psa flight, which is a is contracted by american airlines, they're flying a final approach directly north on runway one. so all the aircraft that are coming into land are flying on that same approach. even if. and then what happens is the smaller regional jets can have the ability and the relative to time and temperature and weight, they can actually take runway three three because it's shorter and it goes closer to their gates. so at some point in that arrival, they were offered runway three three. well those those guys were looking at hey that's that's a better deal for us. and so all they do is they kind of peel off. so they peel off on the due north runway, and then they make a shallow left hand turn and land
