Andy Beyer is mourning the loss of his wife Justyna and daughter Brielle following the tragic aircraft catastrophe in Washington, D.C. last week … and revealing the harrowing moment he learned the truth about their demise.

The grieving husband and father appeared on CNN Monday evening, where he couldn’t hide his heartbreak while recounting to host Kaitlan Collins how he realized his loved ones were no longer alive.

Andy said he and his son were awaiting Justyna and Brielle’s return from Wichita, Kansas, where Brielle had participated in the National Development Camp for U.S. Figure Skating.

He said … “We had a really long cry. He let out this, like, ‘Nooo.’ It really hurt. And that’s how we found out, right before anything was really official, but we already knew.”

While the grief is unimaginable, Andy said he is determined to share Justyna and Brielle’s story with the world.

The mother and daughter were among the 67 people who died when an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet over the Potomac River Wednesday night … there were no survivors.

Marcus Jordan was involved in a police pursuit just before his DUI arrest on Tuesday morning … though new dashcam video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows Michael‘s son was able to successfully dodge the cops — at least for a brief while.

The footage shows a Seminole County Sheriff’s officer trying to pull over Marcus’ Lamborghini SUV at around 1:03 AM … but a few minutes later, you can see in the clip Marcus clearly got away by putting his foot on the gas.

For some reason, the Seminole County official did not pursue the 34-year-old … instead, he pulled over, radioed in the matter to dispatch, and said, “I’m turning around.”

Marcus was allegedly combative as the cops tried to put him in their squad car … and once they were finally able to wrestle him into it and take him to a nearby jail, cops say he sang “the entire” time.

Marcus — who cops say refused a breathalyzer — was ultimately charged with DUI crash causing property damage, possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence.

He spent several hours behind bars … but was released from jail late Tuesday morning. On his way out of custody, he did not speak to journalists before he jetted off in another Lamborghini SUV.

Blake Lively‘s living in a fantasy land when it comes to the first court date in the Justin Baldoni case … at least according to his camp.

Justin’s “It Ends With Us” costar and legal foe believes the judge ruled in her favor at Monday’s hearing … but Baldoni’s side has a completely opposite takeaway.

Sources close to Justin’s team tell TMZ … “The judge did not rule in Ms. Lively’s favor, what they had asked of the court was a gag order, for Blake not to be deposed by Bryan and for the entire case to be dismissed against them — none of that happened.”

The Baldoni camp is responding to our Blake sources … who told us she was looking forward to her day in court, feeling grateful the judge “ruled in her favor” and brushing off Justin’s countersuit as a “sideshow.”

As you know, Justin’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, duked it out with Blake’s lawyers in a New York federal court on Monday. During the hearing, the judge required Blake and Justin’s legal teams to abide by New York Rules of Professional Conduct, which prevent lawyers from making statements with a “substantial likelihood” they could taint a jury. Still, the rules afford attorneys the opportunity to talk with the media to protect their clients from negative publicity.
