Data from the plane\u2019s black box showed that pilots Jonathan Campos and co-pilot Sam Lilley made a last-minute attempt to pull the plane up before impact. The plane was at 325 feet when it collided with the helicopter, which was at about 200 feet, near its maximum safe altitude.The helicopter\u2019s black box, retrieved but waterlogged, may help clarify the altitude discrepancies. Recovery teams are still working to recover all the bodies. The investigation continues.<\/p>\n
