White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt is expected to hold a briefing at 1 p.m. EST .

More than 40 bodies have been pulled from the Potomac River , law enforcement officials tell the Associated Press .

The crash threw one of the world’s most tightly controlled airspaces into chaos 3 miles ( 5 kilometers ) south of the White House and U.S. Capitol .

Flight tracking sites and air-traffic control logs show the Embraer E-175 was cleared to land and advised about a helicopter in its vicinity when its automated collision avoidance system pushed it out of proper alignment for landing.

A different regional jet descending to land at Reagan executed a go-around maneuver because of a military helicopter in the area.
