On Tuesday, search crews finished their operation by recovering the last remains of 67 individuals who perished in a tragic crash involving a passenger jet and a U.S. Army helicopter in Washington. Out of the deceased, authorities confirmed that the identities of all but one individual have been established, and officials have expressed their heartfelt sympathies towards the families affected by this devastating loss.
Recovery personnel are still active in the river, battling against the cold and unclear waters, as they continue the salvage of American Airlines Flight 5342. Their goal is to gather evidence that can shed light on the factors behind this catastrophic accident, which has become the deadliest air disaster in the United States in the last twenty years. The regional jet was en route from Wichita, Kansas, to Reagan National Airport, carrying a total of 64 passengers, including four crew members, a group of seven friends on a hunting trip, and 28 individuals returning from a prestigious figure skating camp.

It's terrible, but let's not sensationalize it. This shouldn't distract from ongoing issues like climate change.
