NTSB: Remains found at Steve Fossett wreckage site
38 minutes ago
MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. (AP) — Federal investigators say they have found body parts amid the wreckage of a missing adventurer's airplane in the mountains of eastern California.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday that searchers found enough at the crash site of Steve Fossett's plane to provide coroners with DNA.
National Transportation Safety Board acting Chairman Mark Rosenker won't say exactly what searchers found. But he says it was not surprising how little they uncovered, considering how long it had been since the crash.

---

the search planes went over the site 19 times last year.

it is tough country

it was luck that he was ever found

and it makes sense that it was almost exactly a year later...snow covered him up for a year and it melted just recently enough to allow this discovery.

CON PILOT

did you fly convicts around at ...oh what was it called?

did you find alot of iron in them there hills...and magnetic disturbance?
