Investigators seek to salvage aircraft after deadly Washington crash
Hindustan TimesBy David Shepardson and Jeff Mason Investigators seek to salvage aircraft after deadly Washington crash WASHINGTON, - Investigators plan to push forward on Friday with efforts to retrieve the two aircraft involved in a crash in Washington that killed 67 people and raised questions about air safety in the U.S. capital. Fresh from recovering the so-called black boxes from the American Airlines plane that crashed into the Potomac River after colliding with an Army Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday, divers aim to "salvage the aircraft" and find additional components on Friday, Washington's fire department said. The National Transportation Safety Board is studying the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the CRJ700 airplane, which carried 60 passengers and four crew members, all of whom perished in the crash. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the helicopter was flown by a "fairly experienced crew" of three soldiers who were wearing night-vision goggles on an annual training flight.
