In a tragic midair collision, a U.S. military helicopter carrying three people and a passenger plane with 64 on board crashed into the Potomac River. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on January 30 that there were \"no survivors\" in the devastating accident.
Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have successfully recovered the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the American Airlines passenger plane. These black boxes are now at NTSB labs for thorough evaluation.
Following the collision, the operation focus has shifted to a comprehensive recovery mission. U.S. media reports indicate that dozens of bodies have been retrieved from the Potomac River, marking a somber outcome of the tragic event.
