Efforts are switching from a rescue mission to a recovery operation in the plane crash involving American Airlines Flight 5342.

 Sixty four people were aboard the plane and three were in the Army helicopter, as the two collided near Reagan Washington National Airport. Both the plane and the helicopter landed in the Potomac River.

 Washington Fire Department Chief John Donnelly says 28 bodies have been found so far.

 The crash occurred just before 9 p.m. last night; the plane traveling from Wichita attempted to land and collided in midair with the Black Hawk helicopter.

 Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy says nothing was out of the oridnary in the moments leading up to the crash.

 Wichita Mayor Lily Wu says the tragedy affects not just those in Wichita, but many people across the United States and the world.

 Wu says south-central Kansas and D.C.are forever linked.

 Wichita officials will hold a prayer vigil at City Hall this afternoon and the public is invited to attend.

 Reagan Washington National Airport resumed flights at 11:00 this morning. The National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration will analyze the aircraft for evidence on what happened to cause the crash.
