On Monday morning, a crane was used to remove the fuselage of the American Airlines regional jet that had collided with a Black Hawk helicopter from the Potomac River. The pieces of the plane, which had been tangled up with the helicopter, were carefully lifted out of the water by the red crane.
The salvage crews were able to retrieve an engine and other parts of the fuselage from the passenger jet, marking a significant step in the aftermath of the tragic crash that claimed the lives of 67 people. The crew also worked to recover a wing of the regional jet, making steady progress in the recovery effort.
However, the operation to remove the entire plane from the river was expected to take a few more days. Once this task is completed, the crews will then focus on retrieving the military helicopter that was also involved in the collision.
As of Monday, 55 bodies of the victims had been found, providing some closure for the families who had been anxiously waiting for news of their loved ones. The recovery effort was ongoing, with teams working tirelessly to search for the remaining victims and bring them home to their families.
The tragic incident had deeply affected the community, and the recovery efforts were a testament to the resilience and determination of those involved. Despite the challenges, the teams remained committed to their task, working tirelessly to bring closure to this devastating event.
