Officials confirmed that all but one victim has been identified.
Investigation and Recovery Efforts
Rescue teams have been working in difficult conditions to recover debris from the Potomac River. Major parts of the jet, including the right wing, center fuselage, cockpit, and tail, have been retrieved.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is now investigating new data suggesting that the Black Hawk helicopter may have been flying higher than its permitted 200-foot limit. Radar readings showed the helicopter at 300 feet, but officials note that this figure was rounded to the nearest 100 feet. Meanwhile, data from the jet’s flight recorder placed its altitude at approximately 325 feet, with a possible margin of error of 25 feet. Investigators are waiting to recover more information from the sunken Black Hawk to determine its exact altitude at the time of the crash.
How Did the Crash Happen?
The American Airlines Bombardier CRJ-700 jet was flying from Wichita, Kansas, carrying 60 passengers and four crew members. As it prepared to land, air traffic controllers asked the pilots if they could switch to a shorter runway, and they agreed.
The Black Hawk helicopter, stationed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, was on a training mission with three soldiers on board. Less than 30 seconds before the collision, air traffic controllers asked the helicopter pilot if they could see the jet. The pilot confirmed.
Moments later, the controller instructed the helicopter to hold its position while the jet passed. However, the helicopter did not respond, and the two aircraft collided, resulting in the deaths of all 67 people on board.

Ongoing Investigation
Officials are now focused on determining why the collision happened and whether the helicopter was flying too high. Investigators will continue analyzing flight data, radar readings, and communication records to understand the cause of this tragic accident.
