They find the two black boxes of the plane that crashed in Washington

The researchers recovered the voices recorder of the pilot’s cabin and the flight data registrar, which will be analyzed by the National Transport Security Board, in charge of the investigation, anonymous sources reported to CBS News and ABC News.

Earlier, the researchers said they hope have in 30 days the preliminary conclusions about the reasons why the accident occurred.

“Our intention is to have a preliminary report within 30 days. The final report will be issued once we have completed all our research and determination of facts,” said Todd Inman, a member of the research team, at a press conference at the airport National Ronald Reagan of the US capital.

For its part, the director of the National Transportation Board (NTSB, in English), Jennifer Homendy, said that researchers must “Verify” the information, while asking not to “speculate” about the causes of the accident.

His message contrasts with the position of the president of the United States, Donald Trumpwho in a previous press conference at the White House said Not knowing the reasons but insinuated that the guilt would have been of the helicopter pilot.

Also, he pointed out without evidence to the Democratic governments of Barack Obama (2009-2017) and Joe Biden (2021-2025) for having hired aerial controllers, in his opinion, little qualified following diversity and inclusion policies.

The NTSB rejected refer to Trump’s comments and insisted that at this time it is unknown if the accident was caused by a human error or a technical error.

The incident occurred when a military helicopter, with three people on board, and a Bombardier Crj700 commercial plane from American Eagle (regional subsidiary of American Airlines), with 60 passengers and four crew members, collided on Wednesday at 20:48 local time (01 : 48 GMT on Thursday) at the time of the latter’s approach to the Ronald Reagan (DCA) airport by Washington.

The authorities rule out that there are survivors of the plane crash, which is already the deadliest in the United States since 2001.
