The National Transportation Safety Board says it has recovered a cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the American Airlines plane that collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport late Wednesday.

One of the pilots killed when an American Airlines flight collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk in Washington, D.C. has been identified as a Georgia man. Sam Lilley was serving as First Officer on the flight before it crashed into the Potomac River.

A deadly midair collision between an American Airlines jet and an Army helicopter near the nation’s capital is bringing renewed focus on the federal agency charged with investigating aviation disasters.
