The Army Black Hawk helicopter involved in the fatal midair collision in Washington, D.C., had a tracking system turned off, Sen. Ted Cruz said.

In images shared by the NTSB, the crumpled metal that was once a working military helicopter can be seen being lifted from the water by a crane floating atop a barge in the Potomac River.

More than a week after the deadly collision of a passenger jet and a helicopter, crews forged ahead with salvage efforts in the Potomac River.
