Sixty-four people aboard a commercial airliner died Wednesday after it collided with a military helicopter midair near Reagan Washington National Airport. Both the American Eagle jet and Army Black Hawk are in the Potomac River.

Victims' families gathered near the site where a plane and copter collided and fell into the Potomac River. 'They are all hurt,' an official said.

The data recorders from the plane that were also recovered appeared to be in good condition, officials said. The route used by the Army helicopter that collided with a passenger jet has been highly restricted.
