Michael Connor, commanding officer at the Jacksonville station, told a news conference. Investigators will not be able to recover it until the aircraft is lifted out of the water, Landsberg said. Officials were determining the best way to remove the plane from the water, NTSB investigator in charge John Lovell said. The U.S. Coast Guard placed floating booms around the jetliner to contain leaking jet fuel in the water, Landsberg said. A spokesman for Boeing Co said that the company was aware of the incident and gathering information.
