No survivors have been found from the collision of an American Airlines (AAL) jet carrying 64 people with a military helicopter, the chief of Washington’s fire and emergency medical services department said Thursday morning.
"We are now switching from a rescue operation to a recovery phase," John Donnelly, the department's chief, said at a news conference — which was broadcasted by CNBC —Thursday. "At this point we don't believe there are any survivors."
Sean Duffy, who was sworn in as secretary of transportation on Tuesday, said at the press conference that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will partner with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to analyze the recovered body of the American Airlines aircraft.
The American Airlines flight departed Wichita, Kansas, and had 60 passengers and four crew members on board. It collided with an army helicopter, which was conducting a training flight, Wednesday evening.
