(CNN) – Both black boxes have been recovered from the American Airlines jet involved in Wednesday night’s midair collision with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter.
The flight recorders are being evaluated at National Transportation Safety Board’s labs.
Dozens of bodies have been removed from the Potomac River near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport where the aircraft crashed, but some victims have not yet been found.
The plane was carrying 64 people. Three soldiers were aboard the helicopter.
No one survived.
The NTSB’s investigation is just beginning and will look at a wide range of potential causes of the collision.
The agency hopes to have a preliminary report ready within 30 days.
