The NTSB, in coordination with the U.S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage, has recovered the aft fuselage, right engine and right pylon of the Bombardier CRJ700 after its midair collision with a Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
The PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 airplane operated as American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, to Reagan Washington National Airport, and the US Army helicopter collided at 8:47 p.m. ET on January 29, 2025, killing 67 people.
The salvage of both aircraft is expected to take several days. FBI dive teams will recover smaller pieces of wreckage.
Reuters reports that data retrieved from an investigation will be released on Tuesday. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy said: "We have much more granular data from Potomac TRACON that we're going to be able to release," referring to a Federal Aviation Administration terminal radar approach facility in Virginia.
The NTSB investigative team has obtained training and flight logs for both flight crews and maintenance logs for both aircraft. The human performance group is building several day histories for both flight crews, and the Air Traffic Control group has completed interviews of all five staffed positions in the tower.
