00:00This has been a tough response for a lot of our people. We've had over 300 responders operating
00:06at one time, and I think we've got about 500 people that have worked through the site.
00:11And I want to thank again our response teams for their heroic efforts over the past
00:1530 or so hours, including the team on this site,
00:19as well as the teams that are supporting the families. This is heartbreaking work.
00:30We have recovered 41 sets of remains, and 28 of those victims have been positively identified.
00:39And as of 6 a.m. this morning, next of kin notifications have been made to 18 families.
00:46The salvage crews have begun to arrive on the scene, and they're assessing the work that's
00:51going to be needed to recover the aircraft from the water. We expect those operations to begin
00:57no later than tomorrow afternoon. Yes, we expect to recover all of the bodies. That's why our
01:03teams are still working. We're going to have to work with the salvage company to do some of that
01:08work. The airport is open and operating. We are in a reduced capacity and a reduced arrival rate
01:24due to the proximity of the recovery site. We do have two of our three runways that are closed.
01:31Airlines are resuming as much as possible normal operations. I think we have about
01:37100 flights or so canceled today. I believe for us to recover the rest of the remains
01:43that we are going to need to get the fuselage out of the water.
01:54you
