CNN Anchor Kaitlan Collins Breaks Down in Emotional Interview
CNN news anchor Kaitlan Collins was overcome with emotion during a heart-wrenching interview with Andy Beyer, a man who lost his wife and daughter in a tragic plane crash. The American Airlines jet crashed into the Potomac River after colliding with a military helicopter, claiming the lives of 67 people.
Andy Beyer appeared on “The Source” to remember his wife, Justyna, and their 12-year-old daughter Brielle. He shared the heartbreaking moment when he received the news of their tragic deaths in the fiery crash on January 19.
During the interview, Beyer recalled waiting for his wife and daughter to land, only to be alerted by firetrucks passing by that something had gone terribly wrong. He had to break the devastating news to his 6-year-old son, who reacted with disbelief and sorrow.
Despite the pain, Beyer fondly remembered his daughter’s battle with cancer and described his wife as his soulmate and an incredible mother. The family had been living their dream until tragedy struck.
Collins, visibly moved by Beyer’s story, struggled to hold back tears as he expressed the importance of sharing his wife and daughter’s story with the world. Beyer emphasized the need for their memories to live on through the stories shared by loved ones.
As the interview concluded, Collins thanked Beyer for honoring his family’s memory and expressed the support and prayers of everyone watching. The tragic crash, which claimed the lives of all 67 passengers, remains one of the deadliest commercial crashes in the US in recent history.
