Rescue teams detail ‘horrors’ they saw underwater when trying to salvage remains of American Airlines crash victims as death toll rises

The search for the bodies of those killed in the DC plane crash continues after a tragic collision on January 29 between an Army helicopter and an American Airlines plane. The crash, which occurred over the Potomac River, resulted in the death of 67 people. As of now, 55 bodies have been recovered, though difficult, cold conditions make the operation challenging. Ice in the river has slowed recovery efforts, and a Metropolitan Police diver required treatment for hypothermia but has since recovered. Emergency responders have described the scene as emotionally taxing, with one firefighter noting the horrors seen underwater, despite the water being clear.
