The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a Black Hawk helicopter in Washington, D.C., have been recovered, according to officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced in a statement on Thursday evening that both recorders have been retrieved and transferred to NTSB labs for examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recorders were recovered from the Bombardier CRJ700, operated by Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) on behalf of American Airlines under the American Eagle joint brand. The airplane collided with a Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk helicopter belonging to the U.S. Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both aircraft went down<\/a> into the Potomac River near Reagan Washington National Airport following the collision on Wednesday at 8:38 p.m., killing all 67 people on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fuselage of Flight 5342 was found in three sections, overturned in the river, according to CNN. The Black Hawk was also discovered upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident marks the first major commercial plane crash in the U.S. in nearly 16 years, since Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed into a home in Buffalo, New York, in November 2009, killing all 49 people on board and one person on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also the deadliest aviation disaster in the U.S. since 2001. In November of that year, just two months after the 9\/11 attacks, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in Queens, New York, shortly after takeoff, killing all 260 people on board and five on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the victims of Wednesday’s crash were 14 members of the skating community who were returning from the U.S. Championship in Wichita, Kansas, after attending a development camp for young skaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
