The pieces of wreckage recovered Tuesday were lifted by a crane and placed onto a barge with other parts recovered from the flight that took off from Wichita, Kansas, for Washington's Reagan National Airport with 60 passengers and four crew members on board. One of the pieces recovered earlier in the day showed a portion of the American Eagle logo.

Officials said on Saturday that they recovered 42 sets of remains amid the investigation into the Jan. 29 Potomac River midair collision, and plan on releasing more details in coming days.
