Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Nora Rahm. The search continues for those still missing after a passenger plane and a military helicopter collided Wednesday night near Reagan Washington National Airport. It's believed all 67 people on board the two aircraft were killed. D.C. Fire Chief John Donnelly says 41 bodies have been recovered.
Efforts to find the rest are complicated by the wreckage of the passenger plane.
I believe for us to recover the rest of the remains that we are going to need to get the fuselage out of the water.
Two of three runways remain closed two days after the crash. About 100 flights were canceled today. Authorities have also restricted helicopter flights near the airport. Social media accounts have incorrectly identified a transgender pilot as having flown the Black Hawk helicopter. It's the latest scapegoating of a transgender person in a high-profile tragedy.
NPR's Odette Youssef reports. Similar transphobic scapegoating happened after the school shootings in Uvalde, Texas, Apalachee, Georgia, Madison, Wisconsin, and Perry, Iowa, to name just a few. Sarah Moore is with GLAAD, an LGBTQ advocacy group. She says the pattern ties to a steep increase they've documented over the last three years of anti-trans hate crimes.
Trans people are four times more likely to be the victim of crimes, not the perpetrators. In his first two weeks in office, President Trump has targeted trans people's access to medical care, bathrooms, and legal recognition on documents like passports. Trans people make up less than 1% of the U.S. population. Odette Youssef, NPR News.
