Salvage crews remove large portion of commercial jet from river after deadly air collision near DC
Crews began removing wreckage from the Potomac River from last week’s deadly plane collision between an airliner and an Army helicopter. The midair crash was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001.
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) — Salvage crews have removed a large portion of a commercial jet from the Potomac River near Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Monday, five days after a midair collision last week that killed 67 people.
Authorities have said the operation to remove the plane will take several days and they will then work to remove the military helicopter involved in the crash.
The crash between the American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter over Washington D.C. on Wednesday was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since 2001.
Authorities have recovered and identified 55 of the 67 people killed in the crash and Washington, D.C., Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly has said they are confident all will be found. Crews early Monday could be seen aboard a vessel with a crane.
More than 300 responders were taking part in the recovery effort at any given time, officials said. Two Navy barges were also deployed to lift heavy wreckage.
Divers and salvage workers are adhering to strict protocols and will stop moving debris if a body is found, Col. Francis B. Pera of the Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday. The “dignified recovery” of remains takes precedence over all else, he said.
Portions of the two aircraft that collided over the river Wednesday night near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport — an American Airlines jet with 64 people aboard and an Army Black Hawk helicopter with 3 aboard — are being loaded onto flatbed trucks and will be taken to a hangar for investigation.
The crash occurred when the jet, en route from Wichita, Kansas, was about to land. The Black Hawk was on a training mission. There were no survivors.
On Sunday, family members were taken in buses with a police escort to the Potomac River bank near where the two aircraft came to rest after colliding.
The plane’s passengers included figure skaters returning from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita and a group of hunters returning from a guided trip. Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia; Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Maryland; and Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, of Durham, North Carolina, were in the helicopter.
Federal investigators were working to piece together the events that led to the collision. Full investigations typically take a year or more. Investigators hope to have a preliminary report within 30 days.
Wednesday’s crash was the deadliest in the U.S. since Nov. 12, 2001, when a jet slammed into a New York City neighborhood just after takeoff, killing all 260 people on board and five on the ground.
Experts stress that plane travel is overwhelmingly safe, but the crowded airspace around Reagan Airport can challenge even experienced pilots.
The NTSB said Saturday that preliminary data showed conflicting readings about the altitudes of the airliner and the helicopter.
Investigators also said that about a second before impact, the jet’s flight recorder showed a change in its pitch. But they did not say whether that change in angle meant that pilots were trying to perform an evasive maneuver to avoid the crash.
Data from the jet’s flight recorder showed its altitude as 325 feet (99 meters), plus or minus 25 feet (7.6 meters), when the crash happened, NTSB officials told reporters. Data in the control tower, though, showed the Black Hawk at 200 feet (61 meters), the maximum allowed altitude for helicopters in the area.
The discrepancy has yet to be explained.
Investigators said they hoped to reconcile the difference with data from the helicopter’s black box and planned to refine the tower data, which can be less reliable.

In a tragic incident near Washington DC, salvage crews have successfully removed a large portion of a commercial jet from the Potomac River following a deadly air collision. The collision, which occurred between a passenger jet and a smaller private plane, resulted in multiple fatalities and has left the local community in shock.The salvage crews have been working tirelessly to recover as much of the wreckage as possible, in order to investigate the cause of the collision and to provide closure to the families of the victims. The process has been challenging, as the wreckage was submerged in the river and required specialized equipment and expertise to safely remove.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the cause of the collision, which is believed to have been caused by a miscommunication between air traffic controllers and the pilots of the two planes. The tragedy has raised questions about the safety of air traffic in the region and has prompted calls for improved communication and coordination between pilots and air traffic control.
As the community mourns the loss of those who perished in the collision, salvage crews are working diligently to recover the remaining wreckage and provide answers to the families of the victims. Our thoughts are with all those affected by this tragic event, and we hope that lessons can be learned to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Black box found from medical jet that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia, NTSB says
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — The cockpit voice recorder, commonly known as a ‘black box,’ has been recovered from the medical jet that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday evening that the box was found eight feet underground at the site of the impact.
The crash left a crater in the street, but sources tell Action News the black box was in “decent shape.”
Black boxes are key pieces of evidence after a plane crash, since they can potentially hold crucial data to help investigators from the NTSB understand what went wrong.
A small medical transport jet carrying a child and her mother along with four other people was in the air for less than a minute before coming down in a fiery crash.
The NTSB also said it has recovered the plane’s enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS), which could also contain flight data.
The components will be sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C. for evaluation, officials said.
NTSB investigators have also recovered both engines. Wreckage recovery will continue on Monday, and all of the wreckage will be sent to a secure location in Delaware for further examination.
Investigators also continue to ask that videos or photos of Friday’s crash be sent to witness@ntsb.gov to help in the investigation.
Also on Sunday, the NTSB released new video of the scene where the jet hit the ground.
It shows the scale of the crater left behind by the impact. It also shows the scene around the crash, including several burned-out cars.
RAW VIDEO: The NTSB released video on Sunday that shows the site of the plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia from the ground and air.
We’ve also now learned the names of all six people
aboard the medical jet who perished when the plane crashed on Friday evening.All of the victims on board the plane were from Mexico. The NTSB says Learjet 55 was traveling to Missouri before headed to Mexico when it crashed less than a minute after take-off, causing a massive explosion.
Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales and Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez have been identified as the pilot and co-pilot of the flight.
Paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla and Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo were also aboard the plane.
Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla and Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo have been identified as those on board the medical jet.
They were traveling with the pediatric patient, 11-year-old Valentina Guzman Murillo, and her mother, 31-year-old Lizaeth Murillo Osuna.
Valentina Guzman Murillo was in Philadelphia to receive care fromShriners Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.
A person inside a car was also killed. That person has not yet been identified.
“Our city continues to mourn their loss and they are in our thoughts and prayers,” said Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker.
The city said Sunday the number of people injured rose to 22. Five of those people are still hospitalized, with another three in critical condition.
But local leaders say there could be more victims, so they’re urging residents to check on their neighbors.
“If there is somebody who you think may have been in this area, and they’re missing and they haven’t checked in, and you can’t reach them or they live there, call 911,” said the city’s managing director, Adam Thiel.
He said he joint investigation team consisting of local, state and federal partners remain on the ground to assist people and assess the damage.
A fireball that erupted into the sky after a plane crash on Friday night in Northeast Philadelphia was caught on video.
At least 11 residential properties are impacted.
“They have a lot of processing yet to do of the scene. We have not yet recovered everything we need to recover from the scene,” Thiel said.
Some lanes of the Roosevelt Boulevard have reopened in the area of the crash, with the roadway expected to be fully reopened by the morning rush on Monday.
Mayor Cherelle Parker said there will be a town hall meeting on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. where residents can get more information. However, the location for that town hall has not yet been determined.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has announced that a black box has been found from the medical jet that crashed in Northeast Philadelphia. The black box, also known as the flight data recorder, is a crucial piece of evidence that will help investigators determine what caused the tragic crash.The medical jet was carrying a patient and three crew members when it went down in a field near Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The crash resulted in the deaths of all four individuals on board.
The NTSB is conducting a thorough investigation into the crash, looking at factors such as weather conditions, pilot experience, and mechanical issues. The discovery of the black box will provide valuable data that will help shed light on the sequence of events leading up to the crash.
Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this tragic accident. We hope that the findings from the investigation will bring some closure and answers to those affected by this devastating event.

Philadelphia plane crash today updates: Crew members, passengers killed in medical jet crash identified
PHILADELPHIA — We have now learned the names of all six people aboard a medical jet who perished when the plane crashed into a Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday evening.
Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales and Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez have been identified as the pilot and co-pilot of the flight.
Paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla and Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo were also aboard the plane.
Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla and Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo have been identified as those on board the medical jet.
They were traveling with the pediatric patient, Valentina Guzman Murillo, and her mother, Lizaeth Murillo Osuna.
Valentina Guzman Murillo was in Philadelphia to receive care from Shriners Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia.
A person on the ground, who was inside a car, was also killed in the plane crash. That person’s name has not been released.
In an update Sunday, Mayor Cherelle Parker said that 22 people were injured. Of those, five people remain hospitalized, with three of them in critical condition.
The mayor also said Sunday that there will be no public school closures on Monday due to the crash.
The jet took off at 6:06 p.m. Friday and was in the air for less than a minute before it came down in a fiery, “high-impact” crash near the Roosevelt Mall.
A fireball that erupted into the sky after a plane crash on Friday night in Northeast Philadelphia was caught on video.
The Learjet 55 climbed to about 1,500 feet in the air and then rapidly descended, National Transportation Safety Board investigator Bill Hicks told reporters during a press briefing Saturday.
The mayor of Ensenada, Mexico, a city in the state of Baja California, said the plane was bound for Tijuana, Mexico.
There was no indication of a problem radioed from the flight deck of the jet back to Air Traffic Control before the crash, NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy told reporters. “In fact, in the recording that we have, there is an attempt by air traffic controllers to get a response from the flight crew that they didn’t receive,” she said.
The NTSB has classified the crash as an accident.
The “high-impact” crash left debris scattered across four to five city blocks, Homendy said. Investigators have yet to recover the jet’s black box, which she said may have been damaged or destroyed.
“It could be intact,” she said. “But likely it is damaged. It may be fragmented.”
Video from inside a diner show people ducking for cover as debris flies from the plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia.
Philadelphia residents or business owners who find debris should email the NTSB at witness@ntsb.gov, Homendy said.
Earlier, the mayor said residents could also call 911 if they come across airplane debris.
Investigators will spend several days and, possibly, weeks collecting debris from the scene, the NTSB chair said.
At least five homes caught fire in the aftermath of the crash, Philadelphia officials said.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.

The crash of the medical jet came just two days after an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided with a regional American Airlines jet near Reagan National Airport just outside Washington, D.C., killing 67 people.
Homendy said her agency is able to carry out both investigations simultaneously.
“We are a highly skilled agency,” she said, adding that it’s not unusual for the board to investigate two incidents.
In a message posted on social media platform X, U.S. Transportation Sean Duffy called the back-to-back disasters a “heart-wrenching week.”
Regarding the Philadelphia crash, Duffy said, “We’re not going to have answers right away. It’s going to take time. But as I get those answers, I’m going to share it with all of you.”

A day after the tragedy, transportation officials warned the crash site of a Jet Rescue Air Ambulance in Northeast Philadelphia could remain an active scene for days or even weeks.
“I want to stress this was a high-impact crash, and the plane is highly fragmented,” said National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy.
Homendy said their focus is finding the cockpit voice recorder.
The agency hopes it provides answers about why the Learjet 55 took a nosedive less than a minute after departing northeast Philadelphia airport.
“The condition could be fragmented, could be damaged. I will say that we have an incredible team at our headquarters, our office of research and engineering who have significant expertise in repairing damaged cockpit voice recorders and flight data recorders. In fact, we’re known throughout the world. Other countries send their black boxes to us to fix. And so hopefully, once we can find it, that’s the biggest question right now, we can take that back to our lab and evaluate it,” she said.
A spokesperson for the air ambulance company said they were transporting a pediatric patient, who had come to the U.S. for life-saving treatment, home to Mexico.
The patient, an escort, and four crew members died in the fiery collision, along with one person on the ground.
Philadelphia’s mayor said 19 others were injured.
The NTSB has ruled the crash an accident, though it’s still working to determine a cause.
“My initial thoughts are that there’s some kind of an elevator issue with the airplane causing it to pitch down and the pilots not being able to arrest the descent,” said aviation attorney and pilot Ladd Sanger.
Sanger said the agency could consider several scenarios.
“First, the weather was pretty poor from a visibility standpoint, and there have been business jet crashes where, on takeoff, the pilots got spatial disorientation and lost control of the airplane. I’ve also worked on cases where there has been an autopilot malfunction,” he said.
Sanger said there’s also the possibility of a bird or drone strike or ice accumulation. It’s just too soon to know.
Saturday, Secretary Of Transportation Sean Duffy shared a video to “X” saying he’s committed to transparency.
“In the coming days, we’re going to have more announcements. I want Americans to feel confident in American air travel,” said Secretary Duffy.
The FAA is working with the NTSB to investigate the crash.

Knowing what happened inside helicopter moments before crash likely to be key to the investigation

, and
As federal officials continue investigating what caused the deadliest U.S. air crash in almost a quarter century, understanding what happened inside the Army Black Hawk helicopter — and exactly what altitude it was flying at when it collided with a passenger jet — will likely be key to unraveling the disaster, aviation experts say.
A pair of seasoned Army pilots were at the controls, with a third aviator seated behind them for a routine mission in clear weather on Wednesday — part of an annual evaluation to test a pilot’s knowledge and proficiency in the cockpit, officials said. The flight path, too, was a familiar one: The buzz of military helicopters is a constant above Washington, D.C.
And yet the training flight ended in a fireball in the night sky as the UH-60 Black Hawk slammed into a commercial airliner carrying 64 people, leaving no survivors.
Publicly available data reviewed by NBC News suggests the Army helicopter may have been flying too high at the time of the crash, but investigators cautioned against drawing conclusions before they’re able to analyze official flight data.
‘They were my everything’: Man mourns death of cancer survivor daughter and his wife
Andy Beyer lost his wife, Justyna, and their daughter, Brielle, in Wednesday’s plane collision.
He remembers his 12-year-old daughter, who survived a rare cancer when she was just an infant, as “someone who was just meant to sparkle.”
“And she did,” Beyer said. “She was a beautiful singer, had a beautiful voice. She used to fill the house with just whatever was on her mind — Taylor Swift, and lately, ‘Wicked.’”
The 12-year-old and her mother Justyna were in Wichita where Brielle was completing ice skating training since last week.
“Six days was the longest we had ever been apart, and it was, it was hard,” Beyer said. “I really missed them. I was really looking forward to giving them a hug.”

#Sony #PlayStation #Pro #1TB #Jet #Black,ps4Pilot safe after F-35 military jet suffers ‘significant damage’ in accident at Alaska base
Generate Key TakeawaysANCHORAGE, Alaska — A U.S. Air Force pilot was reported to be safe after a single-seat F-35 fighter jet crashed Tuesday during a training exercise at a base in Alaska.
The pilot experienced an “inflight malfunction” but was able to eject from the aircraft, Col. Paul Townsend, commander of the 354th Fighter Wing, told a news conference. The plane crashed during the landing phase of the flight at Eielson Air Force Base, he said.
The pilot had declared an inflight emergency prior to the crash and was in stable condition and being evaluated at a medical facility, he said.
The crash, which occurred early Tuesday afternoon, caused significant damage to the aircraft, the Air Force said in a statement.
Eielson Air Force Base is about 25 miles (40 kilometers) south of Fairbanks.
Townsend said in the statement said the Air Force would conduct “a thorough investigation in hopes to minimize the chances of such occurrences from happening again.”
Eielson was selected in 2016 to host 54 F-35s, spawning an expansion that cost more than a half-billion dollars that was to include 36 new buildings and dozens of housing units. The expansion included about 3,500 new active duty airmen and their dependents.
With the capability to fly more than 12 hours at a time, the F-35 can reach almost anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere in one mission.
In May, an F-35 fighter jet on its way from Texas to Edwards Air Force Base near Los Angeles crashed after the pilot stopped to refuel in New Mexico. The pilot was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.
In October, a Marine investigation blamed the pilot of an F-35 for ejecting from the aircraft when he didn’t need to, causing the fighter to fly unmanned for 11 minutes before it crashed in rural South Carolina in 2023.

A pilot is safe after an F-35 military jet suffered ‘significant damage’ in an accident at an Alaska base.The incident occurred at Eielson Air Force Base on Thursday, where the F-35A Lightning II aircraft experienced an accident during a routine training flight. The pilot was able to safely eject from the aircraft and was later found to be in good condition.
The extent of the damage to the F-35 jet is still being assessed, but initial reports indicate that it suffered significant damage. The cause of the accident is currently under investigation.
The safety of our military pilots is always a top priority, and we are grateful that the pilot involved in this incident was able to safely eject and escape unharmed. Our thoughts are with the pilot and their family during this time.
We will continue to provide updates on this situation as more information becomes available. Thank you to all of our service members for their dedication and bravery in protecting our country.
