00:00During our salvage surveys in preparation to lift the aircraft, additional remains were

00:16located and removed from the river and taken to the medical examiner's office.

00:23So far, 55 victims have been positively identified from this aircraft, or from this accident.

00:37It is my belief that we're going to recover everyone.

00:39If we knew where they were, though, we would already have them out.

00:43So we have some work to do as this salvage operation goes on, and we will absolutely

00:49stay here and search until such point as we have everybody.

00:56Good afternoon, everyone.

00:57My name is Colonel Francis Pera.

00:59I'm the commander of the U.S. Navy.

01:01Today is our second day of survey in the water.

01:04I think we've done everything to set the conditions for a successful lift starting

01:07tomorrow morning.

01:08We anticipate that we'll start at first light right now.

01:12If you look out in the Potomac, you'll see that all of our equipment and personnel are

01:17in place.

01:17We've completed our rehearsals, and all of the processes that I talked about previously

01:22have been rehearsed to a T with all of our joint partners.

01:26As we go through that, when we begin the lift process tomorrow, our goal is to really lift

01:31as much as we can, given the fact that we are also accounting for the human remains

01:37component.

01:38And then our goal is to then transfer those pieces of equipment over to a flatbed trailer

01:45that will now take it over to a designated hanger so that the investigation can begin.

01:51I appreciate all your questions and time.
