President Trump has addressed the devastating mid-air collision near the Reagan National Airport which took place last night around 9 p.m.
“I speak to you this morning in an hour of anguish for [our] nation,” Trump says. “The work is now shifted to a recovery mission. Sadly, there are no survivors.” The president noted the aircraft’s landing lights were on and highly visible, making the circumstances of the collision all the more baffling. He then stressed that this tragedy could have been prevented, and further gave his condolences to those who have lost loved ones.
“As one nation, we grieve for every precious soul that has been taken from us so suddenly,” he says. “On behalf of the First Lady, myself and 340 million Americans, our hearts are shattered alongside yours and our prayers are with you now.”
Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who prayed during Trump’s inauguration, also led in prayer surrounding this situation in an exclusive video with Charisma Media.
“Heavenly Father we come to You in the name of Jesus because there’s nowhere else to go. You said ‘Come boldly,'” Sewell prays. “Would You give rest now to 67 families that may not even know that their family members were a part of this pain and tragedy?”
