China has urged the US to expedite its probe into what caused Wednesday’s mid-air collision of two aircraft near Washington DC. US officials said they expect no survivors in one of the country’s deadliest air disasters in decades. Two Chinese citizens were on board American Eagle flight 5342 when it collided with a military helicopter near Reagan National Airport. According to reports, more than 40 bodies have been recovered.
