Black boxes recovered from plane in deadly American Airlines crash near DC

Al Jazeera  

National Transportation Safety Board says it will ‘leave no stone unturned’ in probe of midair collision. Investigators in the United States have located the black boxes from the American Airlines jet that crashed into a US Army helicopter near Washington, DC, killing all 67 people on board. The National Transportation Safety Board on Friday said it recovered the flight data and cockpit voice recorders from the Bombardier CRJ700 jet that collided with a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. “The recorders are at the NTSB labs for evaluation,” the agency said in a post on X. NTSB Chairman Jennifer Homendy earlier told reporters that the agency would “leave no stone unturned” in its investigation into the accident, the first deadly crash involving a US commercial airliner in more than 15 years. Before the scheduled landing of American Airlines aircraft Flight 5342 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday, air traffic controllers asked the pilots if they could land on Runway 33, and flight tracking sites showed that they adjusted their flight path to meet the request.
