ARLINGTON, Va. — The remains of all 67 victims of last week’s midair collision of an American Airlines flight and an Army helicopter near the nation’s capital have been recovered, authorities said Tuesday.

The chief medical examiner is still trying to positively identify one set of remains, officials said in a news release.

“Our hearts are with the victims’ families as they navigate this tragic loss,” they said in a joint release from the city and federal agencies involved, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Navy dive teams and police and fire crews in Washington.

The news came as crews worked to try to recover the cockpit and other parts of the jetliner from the Potomac River. Officials said their work might depend upon the wind and tidal conditions in the river, where the aircraft crashed Jan. 29 after colliding as the plane was about to land at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport, killing everyone on board the two aircraft.

Throughout the day, crews could be seen lifting large pieces of the plane from the river. The National Transportation Safety Board said it didn’t plan to provide further updates from the scene.

Authorities said early on in the effort that they had expected to recover the remains of everyone who died. They are focusing first on the jet and hope to recover the Black Hawk helicopter later this week.

Col. Francis Pera of the Army Corps of Engineers said salvage crews Monday were able to pull one of the two jet engines from the river, along with large pieces of the plane’s exterior. They were also working to recover a wing of the plane, which had flown out of Wichita, Kansas.

Sixty passengers and four crew were on the American Airlines flight, including figure skaters returning from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita.

The Black Hawk was on a training mission. Aboard were Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Maryland; Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, of Durham, North Carolina; and Army Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia;.

Federal investigators are trying to piece together the events that led to the collision. Full investigations typically take a year or more, but investigators hope to have a preliminary report within 30 days.

Wednesday’s crash was the deadliest in the U.S. since Nov. 12, 2001, when a jet slammed into a New York City neighborhood just after takeoff, killing all 260 people on board and five on the ground.

Gitmo deportation flights: The first U.S. military flight to deport migrants from the United States departed for Guantanamo Bay and was expected to land Tuesday night, two U.S. officials said. It is the first step in an expected surge in the number of migrants sent to the Navy base in Cuba, which for decades was primarily used to detain foreigners associated with the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

President Donald Trump has eyed the facility as a holding center and said it has the capacity to hold as many as 30,000.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was assigned to Guantanamo Bay when he was on active duty, has called it a “perfect place” to house migrants. Additional U.S. troops have arrived at the facility in the past few days to help prepare.

Greenland political action: Greenland’s parliament passed a bill Tuesday that bans political parties from receiving contributions “from foreign or anonymous contributors” after President Donald Trump expressed his wish that the United States take over the vast and mineral-rich Arctic island that belongs to Denmark.

The bill is aimed at protecting “Greenland’s political integrity” and will take effect immediately, according to a translation of a parliamentary document in Danish outlining the measure.

Before taking office for his second term Jan. 20, Trump said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of Greenland, calling it vital to U.S. national security. His oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., visited Greenland last month and told citizens: “We’re going to treat you well.”

Denmark is a longtime U.S. ally and a founding member of NATO, and its semiautonomous territory is home to a large U.S. military base.

With a total area of 836,000 square miles, Greenland — population about 57,000 — is more than one-fifth the size of the United States, according to the CIA World Factbook.

Ohio in-office order: Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has ordered state employees back to their offices full-time starting next month.

In an executive order issued Tuesday, DeWine required all permanent employees of state agencies, boards and commissions to resume five-day, in-office workweeks no later than March 17. He said the move will allow the state to best serve the public and to make best use of its remaining office space. Both are in the best interests of Ohio citizens, he wrote.

The return date set by DeWine falls almost five years to the day after the state declared an emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic March 9, 2020, and allowed certain employees to work remotely.
