Terrifying new video of tragic crash that left American Airlines plane 'split in half' in Washington DC after collision with Black Hawk helicopter on training flight.
A dozen more victims of the deadly American Airlines and Black Hawk helicopter crash have been identified, as rescue divers detailed the 'horrors' they saw as they tried to salvage the remains.
'If we knew where they were, though, we would already have taken them out,' he insisted. 'So we have some work to do as this salvage operation goes on, and we will absolutely stay here and search until such point as we have everybody.' Washington DC crews are continuing to try to recover the bodies of every passenger and crew member onboard American Airlines Flight 5342 Wednesday night
An unidentified firefighter working the scene, however, told reporter Brian Entin he and others are 'emotionally wiped out after seeing the horror up close.' 'Some wanted to give us hugs. Some are just mad and angry,' National Transportation Safety Board member Todd Inman said of the grieving families.Washington DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said Sunday he believes crew members will be able to recover the remains of the 12 other victims of the doomed flight, but they are unsure where the bodies may be
However, the military aircraft - which was marked as a PAT-25 - was flying above 300 feet and was at least a half-mile off course when it collided with American Airlines Flight 5342 on Wednesday evening, killing everyone onboard. However, they recognized that it's harder to gauge distance at night and some wondered if the Black Hawk had mistaken a different plane in the busy airspace as AA 5342.
When contacted by DailyMail.com, the FAA said it 'cannot comment on any aspect of open investigations' and the National Transportation Safety Board - which is leading the investigation - will provide updates when it can.
