A recent law enforcement source has reported that the search and rescue operation for survivors of Wednesday's tragic plane collision is taking a somber turn. The source has described the images from rescuers as 'stunning,' noting the difficulty in discerning the wreckage due to the plane being in several pieces.

As of now, two law enforcement sources and another individual familiar with the situation have confirmed that no survivors have been found. This development is leading officials to brace for what could potentially be the deadliest disaster in Washington, DC, in decades.
