Divers recover 30 bodies from Air Florida crash wreckage
Divers fought ice and debris to pull 30 bodies from the crumpled Boeing 737 wreckage near the Potomac. They aimed to lift the tail with flight recorders, postponing further salvage until a stronger crane arrives as winds drop and temperatures rise. The crash near a busy bridge left 78 dead, with investigators desperate to access the cockpit voice and flight data recorders to explain the final minutes before impact.
