More than 40 bodies have been recovered after a mid-air crash occurred between a US military Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines passenger plane in Washington DC.
All 67 people caught in the crash over the Potomac River are dead, including three soldiers aboard the Black Hawk and 60 passengers and four crew on the plane.
The bodies of the three soldiers are among those recovered, with the army recently releasing the name of the third soldier who died on the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the plane.
The soldier was identified as Captain Rebecca Lobach, of Durham, North Carolina. She was an aviation officer in the regular Army since 2019 and assigned to the 12th Aviation Battalion, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.
