Washington D.C./IBNS: An American Airlines Flight carrying 60 passengers collided with the Army chopper midair near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, media reports said.

Several are feared dead.

Eighteen bodies with no survivors have so far been recovered, BBC News reported.
