The captain of an Eastern Airlines Boeing 727 rejected a takeoff on runway 36 at Washington National Airport (DCA) when he observed a Bell 206L-1 helicopter depart the north helicopter pad in a direction that would cross the B-727's projected takeoff path. The B-727 came to rest on the grass overrun off the end of runway 36, approximately 130 feet from the Potomac River. There was no damage to the aircraft or injuries to the passengers or crew during the rejected takeoff.
