What we know about the D.C. plane crash victims - KTLA5 Los Angeles
As officials continued their search and recovery operation after an American Airlines regional jet collided with a military helicopter while preparing to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., more than two dozen bodies have been recovered from the Potomac River.
The jet was carrying 64 people while the helicopter had three aboard. It appears all involved were killed, which would make this the deadliest U.S. air crash in nearly 24 years. Authorities were continuing to search for remains on Thursday.
KTLA's Sandra Mitchell reports on Jan. 30, 2025.

And you're right, they are still searching for victims/passengers. 
My daughter's student's families are among such.
