Black boxes of US plane crashed in Washington recovered

The two black boxes have been recovered from the plane that crashed after colliding with a military helicopter near the US capital in Washington, D.C.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said this in a statement on Thursday.

Its investigators recovered the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the Bombardier CRJ700 airplane involved in Wednesday's mid-air collision at Ronald Reagan National Airport.

The NTSB is an independent government investigative agency responsible for civil transportation accident investigation.

The American Airlines plane had 60 passengers and four crew on board when it collided in midair with an Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers. Both aircraft crashed into the Potomac River.
During a press briefing at the White House earlier in the day, President Donald Trump said that no one survived the crash.

Citing a law enforcement source, CBS News reported that at least 40 bodies had been recovered by 5.30 pm Eastern Time.
