Washington DC plane crash: crews remove large portion of jet from river

Authorities continue investigation after 67 people killed in collision of army helicopter and commercial jet

Salvage crews have removed a large portion of a commercial jet from the Potomac River near Washington's Reagan National airport on Monday, five days after a midair collision last week that killed 67 people.

Authorities have said the operation to remove the plane would take several days and they would then work to remove the military helicopter involved in the crash.
