Man Shares Heartbreaking Final Text From Wife

Hamaad Raza, whose wife was involved in the horrific Washington D.C. plane crash, shared the final text she sent to him before the tragedy.

American Eagle Flight 5342, which was carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, crashed into the Potomac River after colliding with an army helicopter Jan. 29.

And just minutes before the fatal collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Raza received a message from his wife aboard the plane.

“She texted me that they were landing in 20 minutes,” he told WUSA that night. “The rest of my texts did not get delivered, that’s when I realized something might be up.”

“I’m just praying that somebody is pulling her out of the river right now as we speak,” he continued. “I’m just praying to God.”

So far, 28 bodies have been recovered, with nearly two dozen rescue teams working on finding and identifying the victims. But as of this morning, D.C. Fire Chief John Donnelly shared a devastating update.
