The news came Tuesday as crews worked to try to recover the cockpit and other parts of the jetliner from the Potomac River.

Authorities recovered all of the 67 victims from the Potomac River less than a week after an American Airlines flight collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter in the Washington, D.C., area.

Every victim involved in the American Airlines commercial plane collision with a military helicopter last week has been recovered. Officials announced Tuesday that the remains of 67 people — 64 from the plane and three from the helicopter — have been recovered.
