The Potomac River is open again after federal recovery teams concluded their salvage operations following the deadly collision between a commercial airliner and a U.S. Army helicopter on Jan. 29.

The family of a Connecticut man killed in a midair crash of an American Airlines regional jet and a military helicopter over the Potomac River have filed a lawsuit.

The NTSB, D.C. Fire Department, and federal agencies collaborate to recover wreckage and victims from the tragic American Airlines plane crash and Black Hawk helicopter crash near Reagan National Airport.

Even for first responders who routinely encounter traumatic situations, the plane crash outside Reagan National Airport nearly last month was a devastating experience that took a significant toll, mentally and physically.

Crews have finished recovering the wreckage of a plane and helicopter that collided mid-air, killing 67 people.

On the night of Jan. 29, an American Airlines plane was approaching Washington’s Reagan National Airport when it collided with an Army helicopter that was on a training mission. The collision set off a fireball and sent both aircraft and 67 people — 64 on the Bombardier CRJ700 and three on the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter — crashing into the Potomac River.

More than two weeks after a helicopter and airplane collision over Washington killed 67 people, investigators have completed their work at the scene where both aircraft fell into the Potomac River in the deadliest U.

Recovery efforts are ongoing on the Potomac River as the weather allows, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

The NTSB said Army Black Hawk crew may not have heard a message to "pass behind" the D.C.-bound passenger plane before the Jan. 29 midair crash over the Potomac River.

The NTSB cited key factors in January's midair collision between an Army Black Hawk and an American Airlines jet over the Potomac River.
