Recovery work resumes at site of plane collision near Washington DC

Quick Summary:

Crews worked Tuesday to try to recover the plane's cockpit and the rest of the remains of the 67 people who died in last week's midair collision between a passenger jet and Army helicopter near the nation's capital.

They said their work might depend upon the wind and tidal conditions in the Potomac River, where the aircraft crashed last Wednesday night after colliding as the American Airlines flight was about to land at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport.

Authorities have recovered and identified the remains of 55 of the 67 people and have said they are confident they will find all of the victims.
