C.A.D.I. investigation update: More wreckage of Flight 5342 has been recovered from the Potomac river. On Monday, wreckage recovery efforts began, which resulted in part of the fuselage, a wing, and an engine were recovered. Today, more bits of the fuselage were recovered, and the majority of the tail was recovered, as seen here:


Clean-up efforts should be fairly easy, as the collision and impact of the two aircraft occurred over and in water about 3 to 10 feet deep.

All 64 bodies from the jet have been recovered, with one still working on being identified. The Black Hawk occupants have also been recovered.

At what point did they see it? If they saw it five minutes before the crash, they could have easily taken evasive maneuvers and avoided this mess. But if they saw it five seconds before the crash, then of course they couldn’t do anything, there was nothing that could have been done.
