The pieces of wreckage recovered Tuesday were lifted by a crane and placed onto a barge with other parts recovered from the flight that took off from Wichita, Kansas, for Washington's Reagan National Airport with 60 passengers and four crew members on board. One of the pieces recovered earlier in the day showed a portion of the American Eagle logo.

Even as crews continued to comb the Potomac River for victims' remains, the Army Corp of Engineers began recovering the wreckage of the midair crash.

The bodies of all 67 people killed when an American Airlines plane and a US Army helicopter collided at Reagan National Airport have been recovered, according to reports.
