Arlington, Washington (AP) – Families of Victims of Deadly American plane crash in the US Since 2001, he visited the disaster on Sunday, and the divers have been searched for submerged debris to obtain more balances after the authorities stated that they had seized and identified 55 of the dead.

Washington, the EMS Chief John Donnelli said that officials were convinced that everyone would be found. The divers work hard to find the remains when the crews are preparing to remove the debris from the Cold Ptomak River on Monday morning, Donnelli said at a press conference.

Colonel Francis B. Feather from the Army Engineering Corps said divers and rescue workers adhere to strict protocols and stop moving garbage if the body is found. The “decent recovery” of the remains has the advantage over everything else, he said.

“The unification of those who are lost in this tragic incident are really what all continues us,” the pen said. “We have teams that work for these efforts from the beginning and we strive to do it.”

The divers have high clarity with channels controlled in the support of boats, said the pen, putting “four to five sets of eyes” inside the debris. Due to the cold conditions of one diver, he was treated in the hospital for hypothermia, Donnelli said.

Parts of the two aircraft that collided over the river on Wednesday night near Reagan Washington National Airport – a reactive reagent American Airlines of 64 people on board and a helicopter of the Black Hawk army with 3 on board – will be loaded on flat trucks and allocated to the hangar for investigation.

Family members were delivered by buses with the police to the shore of the Potomak River near, where two planes rested after the collision. Jet, on the way from Growing, Kansaswas going to land. WITH Black hawk He was at a training mission. There were no surviving.

Federal investigators worked to gather the events that led to the collision.

The National Transport Security Council did not conduct a press instruction on Sunday, but released a photo showing investigators on a small boat that looks at the wreckage and the other of them who studied the record record.

Sean Duffy Secretary of Transport has stated that he wanted to give investigators to investigate them. But he asked a number of questions in television television news programs on Sunday.

“What happened inside the tower? They were insufficient? … The position of the black hawk, the height of the black hawk, were the pilots of the black hawk worn by night vision glasses? “Daffy asked on CNN.

Army staff Sergeant. Ryan Austin O’hara, 28, from Lilber, Georgia; Main Ensign 2 Andrew Loid EVZ, 39 years old, with large Mills, Maryland; and Captain Rebecca M. LobakhDarem, North Carolina, was in a helicopter.

The passengers of the aircraft included figures -figures returning from the 2025 figure skating championship and a group of hunters returning from the excursion.

NTSB stated on Saturday that showed previous data Contradictory readings About the height of the airliner and helicopter.

Investigators also stated that about a second before struck, the Jet flight recorder showed a change in his step. But they did not say whether it is a change in the angle that pilots were trying to make a evasive maneuver to avoid an accident.

Data from the aircraft recorder showed a height of 325 feet (99 meters), plus or minus 25 feet (7.6 meters) when the accident occurred, NTSB officials said. The data in the control tower, however, showed a black hawk for 200 feet (61 meters), the maximum height for helicopters in the area was allowed.

The discrepancy has not yet been explained.

Investigators stated that they hoped to reconcile the difference with the data from the helicopter Black box And they planned to improve the data of the tower, which could be less reliable.

“This is a difficult investigation,” the investigator, responsible Bris Baning, said. “There are many works here.”

Banning said the Jet’s Cockpit voice recorder seized the sound moments before the accident.

“The crew had a verbal reaction,” Bunning said, and the flight recorder showed “The plane begins to increase its step. The sounds of the impact were audible in about a second later, after which the entry ends.”

Full investigations usually take a year or more. Investigators hope to have a preliminary report within 30 days.

NTSB member Todd Inman stated that he spent hours meeting with the victims.

“Some wanted to hug us. Some are just crazy and angry, ”Inman said. “They just hurt. And they still want answers and we want to give them answers. “

More than 300 respondents participated in the recovery efforts at the moment, officials said. Two naval barges were also deployed to raise heavy debris.

On Sunday, FOX News Daffy said the Federal Aviation Administration was considering staff at the Reagan Airport Control Tower.

Investigators said there were five controllers at the time of the accident: local controller, soil controller, assistant controller, manager and training manager.

According to the FAA report obtained by the Associated Press, one controller was responsible for the movement of helicopters and planes. These responsibilities are often divided between two people, but the airport usually combines them at 21:30, when the movement slows down. On Wednesday, the manager combined them earlier, which was called “not normal”.

“Personnel deficiency for air traffic control is a major problem for many years and years,” Daffy said, promising that President Donald Trump’s administration will solve a deficit with “bright, intelligent, brilliant people in the towers controling the aerial space.”

With a nation already mournful, Air ambulance crashed In Philadelphia on Friday, killing all six people on board, including a child who returns home to Mexico for treatment, and at least one on Earth.

Also on Friday FAA is very limited by the movement of the helicopter around Reagan Airport, hours after Trump wrote on social networks that the helicopter flies higher than allowed.

Wednesday accident was Deadly in the US Starting on November 12, 2001, when the jet crashed into the New -York neighborhood immediately after take -off, killing all 260 people on board and five on Earth.

Experts stress that aircraft travel is mostly safe but overflowing airspace around Reagan Airport Can challenge even experienced pilots.
