Washington DC plane crash: All major pieces of the wreckage have been recovered, NTSB says

CNN  

CNN — All major pieces of the American Airlines plane and Black Hawk helicopter that collided last week in Washington, DC, have been recovered, the National Transportation Safety Board announced Saturday. Investigators were searching for wreckage from last week’s deadly midair collision and conducted an overnight scan of the Potomac River where the aircraft fell using advanced imaging technology to map the riverbed and locate debris. After the briefing, NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy said investigators were still determining whether the Black Hawk’s ADS-B system — an advanced surveillance technology that provides real-time tracking data — was installed and operational at the time of the crash. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, a former Black Hawk pilot in the Army, noted, “It’s not clear whether the technology was turned on, but the Army confirmed it was installed in the aircraft.” The Black Hawk, stationed at Fort Belvoir in Virginia, was conducting an annual proficiency training exercise in “government continuity” at the time of the collision, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
