The wreckage of the American Airlines plane is being removed from the water.

Crews spent the weekend positioning cranes and other key equipment to begin removing the wreckage.

Investigators say the plane was flying at around 325 feet ahead of the collision.

Investigators are working to understand if the air traffic controllers' screens were providing the helicopter's actual altitude leading up to the crash.
