69 pax onboard disembarked on the Runway. Runway and Airport Operations affected.
About 2.5 hours after this began, Runway 1 remains blocked by the American Eagle jet. @Reagan_Airport had a couple jets take off on Runway 4 and now they are using Runway 33. @WTOPtraffic @WTOP @ARLnowDOTcom @petemuntean #aviation #DCA pic.twitter.com/FVd3zUp7xj
