Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) assessed that all 67 people involved in Wednesday night’s plane crash are currently “presumed deceased” after a plane from American Airlines collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter.
Youngkin was one of several officials who traveled to the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport after the crash. Over 30 bodies have been recovered as of Thursday morning. The governor told the Washington Examiner that authorities have shifted their response from rescuing any survivors to a recovery operation.
