Recovery efforts in Washington helicopter plane collision identify 55 of 67 victims
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Officials have positively identified 55 of the 67 people killed in Wednesday's midair collision between an American Airlines passenger jet and a military helicopter over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. "It's my belief that we're going to recover everyone," Fire Chief John Donnelly said on Sunday at a press conference. On Monday, the Army Corps of Engineers will begin lifting the wreckage from the river, which officials have said could take a week or longer.
