Officials do not believe there were any survivors from a Wednesday evening collision between a U.S. Army helicopter and an American Airlines passenger jet over the Potomac River.
There were 64 people on board the American Airlines plane, which was landing in D.C. from Wichita, Kansas. Three Army personnel were on the helicopter. As of Thursday morning, officials said they had recovered 27 people from the plane and one from the helicopter.
There will likely be months of investigations ahead as Congress and agencies demand answers.
