The crash killed one of the three sailors on the plane, Lt. Hyrum Hanlon, of Airborne Command and Control Squadron VAW-120. The two others were rescued by Maryland State Police, who found them injured and on top of the partly-submerged wreck.
Navy divers recovered the plane by cutting it into sections and preparing each section to be lifted with a sling. A crane lifted each section out of the water, and barges transported the aircraft pieces offsite.
