Investigators recover cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder from the Bombardier CRJ700 passenger jet.

NTSB member Todd Inman said the military helicopter was equipped “with some form of recording devices and those will be read either by DOD or by us” Both aircraft had been flying standard flight patterns on Wednesday and there had been no breakdown in communication.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says helicopter was flown by a “fairly experienced crew” of three soldiers who were wearing night-vision goggles on an annual training flight.

Air traffic control recordings appear to capture the final attempted communications with the helicopter before it collided with the jet.

It was the deadliest U.S. air disaster since November 2001 , when an American Airlines jet crashed after departing from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York .
