Salvage operations underway in DC plane crash!

The complex job of lifting the stricken Flight 5432 from the Potomac River is due to begin Monday, with local and state officials promising that they will recover all 67 of the victims who died when the plane crashed into a military helicopter last Wednesday.

So far, 55 victims' remains have been recovered. D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly told a news conference Sunday: "We’re going to recover everyone."

"If we knew where they were, though, we would already have them out, so we have some work to do as the salvage operation goes on, and we will absolutely stay here and search until such point as we have everybody," he added. Recovery workers have been battling difficult conditions with near-zero visibility in the dark waters.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, plans to lift the remains of the jet from the river in stages, a process that is expected to last three days.
