a small commercial plane, carrying 60 passengers and crew, crashed into the Potomac River

PSA Airlines flight 5342 - 60 passengers plus 4 crew.

Helicopter - TBD 

Helo was basically coming across the planes heading at a 90 degree angle. Basically like a 4 way intersection in the air. Helo saw the landing lights for the plane, and knew he was heading into the path of that airliner so Helo called out to ATC
>ATC this is xxx i can see a jet on approach
ATC asks whats his heading and altitude
Helo tells him heading and altitude, he was at 3000ft
ATC tells him maintain heading and altitude
ATC calls out to American jet on final, confirms hes on final
American jet calls out his heading and altitude
ATC calls out to maintain approach

ATC then realizes
>oh Darn they about to collide and then calls out
>American 472 cancel approach

ATC has messed up
