The aircraft engine and the American Airlines 5432 were lifted from the Potomac River on Monday, and started a complex job to remove the last work of the remnants after the military helicopters collided and dropped CRASH last Wednesday.
Officials say that the rest of the jet aircraft needs to be removed from the crash site to recover all 67 victims who have died in the Washington region. The authorities said that the efforts began on Monday with sunrise.
So far, Washington Fire and EMS’s Chief of John Donnely say that the relics of 55 victims have been actively identified, “We are going to recover everyone” at a Sunday press conference. He said.
“But if you know where they are, you’ve already issued them, so there’s something you need to do as the Salvage Operation progresses. I did it. 。 Recovery workers have struggled with difficult situations in the zero visibility in the dark water area.
Additional archeological sites were discovered while recovering on Monday, and Washington’s Chief Medical Inspectors’ Office, Washington Fire Fighter and EMS Assistant Gary Steine stated on Monday evening New Briefing. Steen said he believed that the remaining human body of Potmax was in the wreckage.
The Army Engineering Corps Baltimore area plans to gradually lift the body of the jet from the river. This is a process that is expected to last for three days. Secretary Sean Duffy said he would take the remnants on Monday.
The Army states in a statement that this operation uses a crane barge, deck barge, dive boat, and a dive system for two grounds.
The American Airlines engine was deleted from Potomac and was placed around 10 am, and Colonel Frank Pella, Colonel Frank Pella, stated on Monday Briefing. At noon, the airplane’s torso was lifted from the water.
Pella said that the effort to remove one of the airplane wings began at 2:30 pm, and he added that the crew felt that it would reach the goal by the end of the day. On Tuesday, the goal is to lift the cockpit from the water.
Pella stated that Tuesday’s efforts could be affected by the weather, but he believes that the crew is on track to achieve the remains of the remnants.
“The goal may affect some environmental conditions, especially the wind tomorrow,” said Pella. “But we intend to maintain a conscious type of a place with those gusts and persistent winds. We make sure that we are working effectively.”
The debris will be transported to the hangar for the National Traffic Safety Commission to continue investigating the cause of the collision.
After that, the recovery team pays attention to the archeological site of the Black Hawk helicopter. The “large lift” part of the operation is expected to end by Saturday, and the clearance of other debris will last at least until February 12. The automatic stop of this work is ordered when the body is discovered.
“The exceptional level of both the background and the potomac adjustment is exceptional,” said Colonel Francis Pella, Commander of Baltimore. “We do not lose the most important focus.
However, the recovery timeline depends on the possibility of obtaining a lift, such as the weather and tide.
Investigators at the Transportation Safety Commission collect the training and flight log of the crew from both aircraft, assemble the collision timeline using flight and voice recorder, air controlled government communication, and synchronous data from the radar range. The Board said on Monday.
In a statement, NTSB expected that there would be a preliminary report, including the cause of the crash drop within 30 days of the incident.
