Air traffic control received no response from a military Black Hawk helicopter seconds before colliding with an American Airlines flight from Wichita to Washington, D.C.

A devastating plane crash this week has drawn Wichita — known as the "air capital of the world" — and its aviation roots into the national spotlight.

Authorities believe there are no survivors in the accident, which happened as a regional passenger jet was attempting to land Wednesday night at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

A 20-year-old Wichita woman was among the 60 passengers of Flight 5342, her father said. Grace Maxwell, a Wichita native, was on her way back to college when the American Airlines jet collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C.

Several coaches and skaters with the United States figure skating team were on the flight from Wichita to Washington, D.C., that crashed Wednesday night, according to U.S. Figure Skating. The flight is not believed to have any survivors.

Wichita residents came together at a vigil for victims of a plane crash near Washington, D.C. President Donald Trump began his White House briefing Thursday with a moment of silence and a prayer for victims of Wednesday's crash at Reagan National Airport.
