All 67 victims in final week’s lethal collision of an American Airways regional jet with an Military Black Hawk helicopter have been recovered, officers mentioned Tuesday.
Rescue responders had been working over the previous a number of days to take away wreckage from the airplane, a CRJ-700, lifting an engine, fuselage and different elements out of the water.
American Airways Flight 5342 was seconds away from touchdown at Washington, D.C.’s Reagan Nationwide Airport when it collided with an Military helicopter, killing all 64 individuals on board the flight and three navy crew on the Black Hawk.
It marked the deadliest U.S. air crash since 2001 and the primary lethal main passenger airline crash within the U.S. in almost 16 years.
