Helicopter Black Box recovered from the Washington DC Air Site

The authorities have recovered the voice recorder of the cabin, also known as the black box, of the helicopter involved in the plane crash that killed 67 people at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday.

Emergency responders plan to increase operations during the weekend to recover the rubble of the site.

There were 64 passengers aboard an American Airlines flight when he crashed with a Black Hawk helicopter from the army that transported three soldiers.

Since then, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has restricted helicopter traffic around the airport after the concerns of officials about overcrowding in airspace overloads.

Until Friday, 28 people from the accident had been identified and 41 bodies had been recovered from water.

The rest of the bodies will not be found until officials can raise the plane from the river bed, authorities said.

The researchers recovered the black boxes of the passenger plane remains the day after the collision.

After soaking those black boxes and extracting the humidity from them, they can obtain data from the recorders “very soon,” said the National Board of Transportation Security Board Todd Inman, to journalists on Friday night.

“We just have to work through several steps,” Inman said.

NTSB members said they still don’t know the cause of collision.

Inman said that the “main uprising” of rescue operations, which will be carried out by the US Navy., Will begin on Saturday.

Parts of the aircraft must be removed from the water before the divers can return.

The authorities plan to map the rubble in the river so that they can better understand how the plane responded to the collision.

The work to eliminate large segments of the water aircraft by Crane begins on Sunday and will continue throughout the week, said Inman.

More than 500 people have been working 24 hours a day at the accident site on the Potomac River, said Washington DC firefighters John Donnelly.

Mr. Inman was asked about the reports that an air traffic controller was managing both the control for helicopters and airplanes flying in the area

He did not comment on the details, but they said that officials plan to examine the behavior of the controller in recent weeks and, in particular, 72 hours before the accident.

“Obviously, we will be watching not only the staff that day … (but also) how many people, what work functions they have done, they are combining.”

The air traffic control group is still conducting interviews.

Inman was also asked if his team is in contact with the White House.

President Donald Trump has suggested without evidence that the helicopter involved in the accident “flew too much.”

The recordings of the air traffic control conversations published online suggested that a controller tried to warn the helicopter on the American Airlines plane in the seconds before the collision.

The helicopter pilot seemed to respond to confirm that they were aware of the plane, but moments later the two planes collided.

Trump also said he suggested that hiring diversity in FAA may have led to security problems.

“Our work is to find the facts,” Inman said. “More importantly, our work is to ensure that this tragedy does not happen again, regardless of what someone may be saying.”
