I don’t know of any other accident that has had this amount of impact on aviation but also in other industries,” one expert said of the 1982 crash.

Every victim involved in the American Airlines commercial plane collision with a military helicopter last week has been recovered. Officials announced Tuesday that the remains of 67 people — 64 from the plane and three from the helicopter — have been recovered.

An American Airlines plane and a U.S. Army helicopter collided near Reagan National Airport and crashed into the Potomac River, according to officials.

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.

Six days ahead of schedule, officials on Tuesday announced the section of the Potomac River affected by the deadly collision between an American Airlines jet and military helicopter had been fully restored.

In a major update, the US National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration retrieved parts of the wreckage of the Black Hawk helicopter on 7. The helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet on January 30.

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are examining the wreckage after an American Airlines plane and Black Hawk helicopter collided midair near Reagan National Airport (DCA),
