67 Dead, Including Crews of American Airlines Jet and Army Helicopter

The Potomac River tragedy claimed the lives of 67 people, including the crews of the American Airlines jet and the U.S. Army helicopter that collided.

Authorities are working to identify the victims, while families wait for confirmation of their loved ones' fate.

Captain Jonathan Campos and First Officer Sam Lilley of American Airlines, and Staff Sgt. Ryan O'Hara and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Eaves of the Blackhawk crew. The identity of the third soldier on the Black Hawk, a female pilot, has not been released at the request of her family.

Captain Campos, 34, was a certified flight instructor and commercial airline pilot who loved his job. His family is in shock over his loss.

First Officer Lilley, 28, was a "fun, adventurous son and brother" who followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a pilot. He had recently visited his sister in North Carolina before the tragedy.

Chief Warrant Officer Eaves, a father and husband, was described as a "light in a lot of our dark days." His wife identified him in a Facebook post.

Staff Sgt. O'Hara, a husband, father, and crew chief, was a former member of the Parkview Marine Corps JROTC. He was described as a "quiet kid" who came out of his shell during his time at Parkview. He served in Afghanistan before his death.

The families of the victims are in our thoughts and prayers.
