More wreckage from D.C. plane crash recovered from Potomac River

More of the wreckage of an American Airlines regional plane was recovered Tuesday from last week's deadly midair collision over Washington, D.C., that sent the airliner and an Army Black Hawk helicopter crashing into the Potomac River.

Crews began work Monday to salvage the wreckage, recovering the battered midsection of the plane's fuselage, one of the engines and a wing.

"Over the next 24 hours, our goal is really to complete our commitment to finishing the civilian plane recovery," Col. Frank Pera of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told reporters Monday.
