DC plane crash live updates: Investigators comb through wreckage for clues

Crews on Monday removed one of two plane engines and the plane fuselage from the water, and have started removing a wing, an Army official said.

They hope to finish recovery of the plane over the next 24 hours, the official said.

Crews plan to recover the cockpit on Tuesday, but winds may impact their work, the official said.

Fifty-five sets of remains have been positively identified, D.C. Fire and EMS Assistant Chief Gary Steen said.

Some human remains were found during Monday’s operations; these and previously recovered remains are in the process of being positively identified, Steen said.

Officials believe more remains are within the wreckage, Steen said.

Two Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority employees were arrested in connection with a leaked CNN exclusive surveillance video showing the plane and helicopter collision.

The employees were charged with computer trespass for allegedly making an unauthorized copy of Airports Authority records.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the Baltimore district shared two images of the wreckage removal at the Potomac River.

Both images show the jet engine from American Airlines Flight 5342 being pulled out of the Potomac on a crane.
