All 67 victims of US plane crash found

Rescue workers have recovered the bodies of all victims of the plane crash in the US and continue to recover debris from the two planes.

A piece of wreckage was pulled from the water and placed on a rescue boat on the Potomac River on February 4.

AP news agency reported on February 5 that authorities had found the bodies of all 67 victims in the collision between a passenger plane and a military helicopter in the Washington DC area (USA).

An American Airlines plane carrying 64 people collided with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying three people on January 29. Both planes crashed into the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan National Airport, killing all on board.

The US National Transportation Safety Board is now reviewing new data on the possibility that the helicopter flew above the 200-foot ceiling. Investigators said they needed more data from the helicopter, which is still underwater.

Instruments on the American Airlines plane showed it was at an altitude of 320 feet, with a 25-foot drop, at the time of the plane crash.

Authorities on February 4 continued to salvage large pieces of the passenger plane, including the right wing, mid-body and parts of the front cabin, cockpit, tail cone and rudder.

"Our thoughts are with the families of the victims as they process this tragic loss," officials said in a joint statement from local authorities and federal agencies involved in the search and rescue, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Navy dive teams, and Washington police and firefighters.

Officials said the chief medical examiner would work to positively identify the last body. Previously, the bodies of 66 victims had been identified.

Federal investigators are looking into the events leading up to the crash. Full investigations typically take a year or more, but they hope to have a preliminary report within 30 days.
