67 Affiliated between American Airlines Jet and Potomac River’s Army Black Hawk. 41 bodies were recovered. The debris search is in progress. NTSB investigates helicopter deviations, aviation traffic control staff. Two black boxes have been found. Preliminary report within 30 days.
advertisementThe recovery crew and divers wiped the photo river on Saturday with the remains and debris due to the air collision between the American Airlines Passenger Jet and the Army Blackhawk helicopter on Wednesday night, which caused all 67 to die.
As of Friday afternoon, 41 bodies were recovered and 28 were confirmed positively. The Washington DC Fire Department John Donelly firefighter said it may be necessary to lift the fuselage of the plane from the river to search all the artifacts.
More than 300 respondents, including the Coast Guard and NAVY team, worked in improving weather conditions on Saturday. Rescue barges helped to deal with heavy debris.
The collision approached Ronald Reagan National Airport due to the flight of the American Airlines, which carries 64 passengers from Kansas Location. The jet hit a helicopter. Military officials confirmed that helicopters are conducting everyday training flights to evacuate civil servants.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the survey with preliminary reports within 30 days. The black box of the two aircraft has been restored. Investigators are investigating whether the air traffic control measures, the high level and night vision goggles of the helicopter are being used.
The helicopter is out of the path and the air control has been exhausted.
Initial studies have shown more than 300 feet instead of 200 feet of helicopters from the approved flight path and are out of 0.5 miles.
Since the crash controller managed both helicopters and flat traffic, we are also monitoring air traffic control staff and procedures.
The FAA has long been in trouble with the lack of air traffic controllers, and Reagan’s National has been lacking for many years. NTSB member TODD Inman confirmed that an interview with the controller who reviewed the level of employee level and education was in progress.
The tragedy ruled on aviation safety, especially in crowded airspace such as Reagan National. President Donald Trump insisted on social media that helicopters were “flying too high,” but officials did not confirm this.
This represents the most deadly US flights in the United States, where 265 people died after jets crashed in Queens in New York since 2001. Airlines travel is overwhelmingly safe, but conflict emphasizes the need to solve systematic problems, including lack of employees and operating pressure to prevent future disasters.
