An American Airlines regional jet collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter on Jan. 29. Both aircraft plunged into the Potomac River near Reagan Airport.

ARLINGTON, Va. − Crews returned to the Potomac River and forged ahead with a massive salvage effort on Wednesday, one week after a horrifying midair crash that killed all 67 people aboard a passenger jet and Army Black Hawk helicopter.

The pieces of wreckage recovered Tuesday were lifted by a crane and placed onto a barge with other parts recovered from the flight that took off from Wichita, Kansas, for Washington's Reagan National Airport with 60 passengers and four crew members on board. One of the pieces recovered earlier in the day showed a portion of the American Eagle logo.
