Search crews recovered 41 bodies from the Potomac River after the collision of a passenger plane and a U.S. Army helicopter killed 67 people in the deadliest aviation disaster in over two decades, officials said.
National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman said in a news briefing Friday evening that the helicopter’s black box has been recovered and appears to be in good condition. NTSB officials had confirmed Thursday that the two black boxes from the airplane were secured. All of the recorders were at NTSB sites for evaluation.
The Federal Aviation Administration on Friday began restricting helicopter traffic around Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in the aftermath of the deadly collision.
The Department of Transportation said the restriction exempts helicopters that need to enter the airspace for “lifesaving medical support, active law enforcement, active air defense, or presidential transport.”

Lt Col Charlie Brown Terrible tragedy. I hope when they finalize the report they actually tell us what happened and not try to cover up important facts. My condolence to the families of those who lost their life in this accident.
