This has now become a recovery effort

Here's the aftermath of the incident as it unfolded on MSNBC.

VIDEO: a guy tries to enter this Raleigh cigar store, discovers it's closed, then RAMS his car right through the front doors! He left with the door still on his hood. Doesn't steal anything - just drives off. (We've cut out some of the expletives from the raw video)

Glenwood ave in Raleigh 😬

Update: Four dead. An additional nine taken to various hospitals with injuries. Suspect in custody and alive. Reports that the suspect has been ‘neutralized’ are inaccurate.

I’ll say this: We’re having one of the worst natural disasters ever in North Carolina. It is our Katrina; it is bad folks. I am getting message after message of desperation and asking for help and attention. I am trying to get as many stories as possible for the world to see.

Thank you, People for interviewing me about how I started this page and the work I am doing for North Carolina! I never thought I would get national attention; I am just a college kid providing weather forecasts for the state I love so dearly. #ncwx

“We will call it Raleigh-Durham International Airport.” Named for the city of Raleigh-Durham, sir? “It’s actually two different cities.” And which one will the airport be in? “Morrisville.”

All takeoffs and landings have been halted at DCA. Emergency personnel are responding to an aircraft incident on the airfield. The terminal remains open. Will update.

We’re aware of reports that American Eagle flight 5342, operated by PSA, with service from Wichita, Kansas (ICT) to Washington Reagan National Airport (DCA) has been involved in an incident. We will provide information as it becomes available.

CNN aviation correspondent and private pilot @PeteMunteen: "I'm stumbling over my words here b/c this is just so staggering that there is a midair collision involving a commercial airliner. Commercial flights are equipped for ages with a system called TCAS -- Traffic collision

My heart goes out to everyone who lost loved ones in the tragic DCA plane crash. Anna and I are praying for all involved - including the families of the Charlotte-based crew members.
