Read our privacy policy The remains of all 67 people who were killed in the Washington, D.C. plane crash last week have been recovered, authorities announced Tuesday, adding that all but one of the victims has been positively identified. The victims were killed Wednesday night when a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter operated by three soldiers collided with American Eagle Flight 5342 as it descended into Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia around 9 p.m. On Tuesday, investigators recovered the airplane’s right wing, center fuselage, part of the left wing and left fuselage, significant portions of the forward cabin and cockpit, vertical and horizontal stabilizers, tail cone, rudder, elevators, TCAS computer and quick access recorder. The US Department of Transportation put significant restrictions on helicopters flying along Route 4, a route typically flown by Black Hawks as commercial jets fly above them, following the crash.
