CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The crew that was on board an American Airlines jet that collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington, D.C. was based in Charlotte, the airline confirmed on Thursday. The airline is not identifying the crew members out of respect for the families, according to CEO Robert Isom.

Wendy Shaffer “was the heart of her family” with a “warm, loving home filled with laughter and care,” her friends said.
