New footage capture by airport security cameras shows the moment an American Airlines Flight and army helicopter collide near Reagan National Airport.
American Eagle flight 5342 – carrying 64 people – and the military Black Hawk helicopter – carrying three people – crashed at approximately 8:53 p.m. on Wednesday (29 January).
More than 40 bodies have been recovered from the Potomac River – with many loved ones and local officials identifying the victims.
Two “black boxes” have also been recovered with a cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder have been taken for lab analysis, the National Transportation Safety Board said.
