Salvage crews have recovered the last large pieces of aircraft wreckage from the Potomac River on Thursday and are focusing on collecting small pieces from the crash site where 67 died.

Crews are expected to remove the cockpit from the American Airlines jet from the Potomac River as they continue recovery efforts from last week's fatal mid-air collision that killed 67 people.

Crews spent the weekend positioning cranes and other key equipment following last week's deadly plane crash near Washington, D.C.
