Emergency responders are planning to ramp up operations over the weekend to recover the debris from the site.

There were 64 passengers aboard an American Airlines flight when it collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying three soldiers.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has since restricted helicopter traffic around the airport after concerns from officials about overcrowding in the airspace overhead.

As of Friday, 28 people from the crash had been identified and 41 bodies had been recovered from the water.
