The US Airways flight 5342 and the army helicopter collided into the air near Ronald Reagan National from Washington, DC, last Wednesday night, where the two planes were sent to the Botomac River and all killed the 67 on board in the bloody American air disaster since 2001.
Officials announced in a statement on Tuesday that the remains of all 67 victims were recovered. Everyone was identified.
The cause of the accident was 3 miles (5 kilometers) south of the White House, and the American Capitol was under investigation on Tuesday, when the crews continued to remove the debris from the river.
The regional plane of Whitchta, Kansas, carried 60 passengers and four crew and was preparing for the ground. UH-60 Black Hawk was its headquarters in Fort Belfar, Virginia, in training and carrying three soldiers, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. The sky was clear.
A few minutes before the Canadian Bombardier CRJ-700, it was a dual motor plane, air traffic monitors asked the 5342 flight if he could use a shorter runway. The pilots agreed. The control units removed landing. Airways tracking sites show a adjustment of their approach to the new runway.
Less than 30 seconds before the collision, the helicopter airport observer asked if it had a plane on the horizon. The military pilot responded yes.
Moments later, the console made another call to the helicopter, and it seems that it tells the reference to wait for the bird to pass.
There was no response and collision of the plane.
“Our hearts are with the families of the victims while announcing the rest of the victims.” Diving and Washington Division, police and fire crews.
The statement said that the medical examiner is still trying to determine one group of remains positively.

On Monday, the rescue sets regained one of the jet engines and large pieces of the outward appearance of the river. They tried to restore the cockpit and other parts of the aircraft on Tuesday and were seen working to raise another piece of the plane. They hope to recover the helicopter later in the week.
Two marine parks raise a wreck of the river. Parts of the two planes will be loaded on flat trucks and transported to a fold. The officials said that more than 300 respondents were participating in the recovery efforts at any time.
Initial data showed conflicting readings about the heights of the two planes.
The officials of the National Transportation Board of Directors told reporters that the data from a plane flight recorder showed a height of 325 feet (99 meters), in addition to or minus 25 feet (7.6 meters). The data in the control tower showed a Black Hawk helicopter at an altitude of 200 feet (61 meters) – the maximum permitted height – at that time.
NTSB investigators have a plane data registrar and a cockpit audio recorder, along with the Black Black Black Black, and they are working to download information within the three.
Investigators said that in about a second before the influence, the recorder of a plane flight showed a change in the stadium. But they did not say whether this change in the corner means that the pilots were trying to perform a dodging maneuver to avoid the accident.
The plane’s radio response stopped moving about 2,400 feet (732 meters) from the runway, almost in the middle of Botomac, and the plane was found upside down in three sections in deep water. The helicopter debris is also found in the river.
Army Chief of Chief of Aviation Jonathan Cosiol said the helicopter crew was “very experienced” and the knowledge of crowded flights throughout Washington.
Full NTSB investigations usually take a year or more. Investigators hope to obtain a preliminary report within 30 days.
President Donald Trump publicly made a mistake in the helicopter due to flying significantly. He also said that federal diversity and inclusiveness efforts – especially with regard to air traffic control – were responsible in one way or another. When the correspondents pressed it again and again in the White House briefing room, the president could not copy these claims.
Among the passengers were members of the Boston skating club who were returning from a development camp that followed the United States Championship in the year 2025 in Whitchta.
Among the teenage victims were Jenna Han and Spencer Lin, teenage mothers and Russian -born coaches, Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Nomov, who won the 1994 world championship in skiing pairs.
The victims also included a group of fishermen who return from a mentor’s journey in Kansas, four members of the local Steamfitters in the outskirts of Maryland, nine students and parents from the province of Verfax, Virginia, schools, and two Chinese citizens.
The army set the soldiers on the helicopter as the commander of Rebecca M. Lobach from Durham, North Carolina; Sergeant employees. Ryan Austin Uhar, 28, from Lilpourne, Georgia; And the 2nd LOYD EAIVES, 39, from Great Mills, Maryland. Ohara was the head of the crew and was the spectrum and a pilot.
