The remains of all 67 victims of last week’s collision between an American Airlines regional flight and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter have been recovered from the Potomac River.

The unified command of local and national agencies responding to the crash announced on social media Tuesday that all the bodies had been found and retrieved.

At the time of the collision on Jan. 29, 60 passengers and four crew members were on board American Airlines Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Three people were on the helicopter. 

Of the 67 dead, 66 have been identified, including people returning from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.

The three soldiers aboard the Black Hawk were Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves and Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, according to The Associated Press.

The collision was the deadliest air disaster in the U.S. since Nov. 12, 2001, when American Airlines Flight 587 crashed into a New York City neighborhood right after taking off. That crash killed all 260 people on the plane as well as five on the ground.

Work is ongoing to retrieve the parts of the plane, a Bombardier CRJ700. Once that is complete, crews will move on to recovering the wreckage from the Black Hawk, the unified command said.

The National Transportation Safety Board on Tuesday said data from the air traffic control center for the District of Columbia showed the helicopter was 300 feet up at the time of its collision with the plane, which was on its approach to land at Reagan National, but that confirming data related to the Black Hawk would require recovering the wreckage first.

The helicopter, on a training flight at the time, was supposed to go only as high as 200 feet to avoid colliding with traffic coming in and out of the airport.
