Recovery teams are focused on retrieving wreckage and identifying remains after the deadly midair collision, with a preliminary report expected within a month.
Overview
Recovery crews are working in freezing conditions to recover debris from the Potomac River following last week's collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, killing 67. Authorities identified 55 victims so far, with recovery of the jet's cockpit expected soon. Investigators are analyzing flight data, questioning whether the helicopter exceeded its 200-foot altitude limit, while two airport employees face charges for leaking crash footage. The NTSB's preliminary report will be published in a month, though the full investigation may take one to two years.
