Investigators seeking debris from Washington DC near a US military Black Hawk helicopter and an American airlines plane last week scanned the river Potomak a night at night where the plane mapped the river. And fell using modern imaging technology to detect debris. .
The scan was done by the National Oceanic and Wammandlei administration between 2am to 5pm on Saturday to make a map of the river using a plane to deploy green laser pulses and find debris from the collision. – This technology, known as Topobetti Leather, is designed to develop underwater imagery and guiding recovery teams.

“We believe that there are avionics on this helicopter that we need to guess what they have and what was at that time.” Homindi told reporters. –
The ADS-B system transmits important information, which includes aircraft space, height, positioning and speed other aircraft and air traffic controllers. Whether this system had a role in last week’s collision, it has become a central point for legislators.
