Salvage crews have recovered all major wreckage from the American Airlines jet and Black Hawk helicopter that collided mid-air over Washington DC on January 29, killing 67 people. The aircraft plunged into the Potomac River, and all victims' remains have been retrieved. Investigators have found both black boxes and are analyzing debris in Arlington, Virginia. Officials revealed the helicopter was flying above the allowed altitude and had its ADS-B safety system turned off. A laser-equipped aircraft scanned the crash site for additional debris. The FAA is reviewing high-risk airports, while Senator Ted Cruz raised concerns about aviation safety measures.
