ARLINGTON, Va. (AP)  — A plane crashed near Ronald Reagan National Airport Wednesday night, and all takeoffs and landings  were grounded, according to the airport and law  enforcement.
Several helicopters, including those from the U.S. Park Police and the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and  the U.S.  Army, were  hovering over the scene of the incident  on the Potomac River. D.C. Fire and EMS  told X that  firefighters were on  scene.
Video from  a surveillance camera at the nearby Kennedy Center shows two  clusters of lights  aligned with  the plane that appeared to  merge into a  ball of fire. The airport said emergency personnel were responding to  "an aircraft incident  at the  airport."
