No survivors in American Airlines crash, 28 bodies recovered after midair collision in Washington
Live MintThere are likely no survivors in the American Airlines passenger aircraft and military helicopter crash over the Potomac river in Washington, US officials said on Thursday. At least 28 bodies have been recovered from the crash site, said Washington Fire Chief John Donnelly, adding that the department is now switching from rescue to recovery. “We are now at a point where we are switching from a rescue operation to a recovery operation,” he said, adding, “At this point we don't believe there are any survivors.” Donelly further said that officials are confident in recovering the bodies of those killed in the plane crash. The Bombardier plane operated by an American Airlines subsidiary, with 60 passengers and four crew on board, was approaching Reagan National Airport at around 9:00 pm US time after flying from Wichita, Kansas collided with a military helicopter, a Black Hawk, carrying three soldiers onboard for a “training flight".
