The pieces of wreckage recovered Tuesday were lifted by a crane and placed onto a barge with other parts recovered from the flight that took off from Wichita, Kansas, for Washington's Reagan National Airport with 60 passengers and four crew members on board. One of the pieces recovered earlier in the day showed a portion of the American Eagle logo.

Salvage crews worked on the Potomac River on Thursday and could be seen pulling out pieces of the Army Black Hawk helicopter that crashed with a plane.
