Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., said roughly 60 passengers were aboard the plane that departed from Wichita en route to Reagan National.
A source familiar with the matter also told NBC News the American Airlines aircraft had 60 passengers and four crew members aboard.
“My prayer is that God wraps his arms around each and every victim and that he continues to be with their families,” Marshall added in his post. “There are no words that can make telling this story any easier. I ask the world to join me in praying for Kansas this evening, the first responders, rescue crews, and all those involved in this horrific accident.”
Plane was operated by PSA airlines.
