The Madera Country Sheriff’s department has released photos of the wreckage of the plane that Steve Fossett was piloting on September 3, 2007. The single engine Bellanca 8kcab n240r appears to have crashed head on into the side of a mountain in the Inyo National Forest near Mammoth Lakes, California. An air search was undertaken on Wednesday after hiker Preston Morrow found personal effects that belonged to Fossett approximately a 1/4 mile from where the plane was eventually located. The tail number was verified at 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday evening. An NTSB team arrived on Thursday to begin their crash investigation. They are in the early stages of their fact finding mission but have stated that the high impact crash was likely a non survivable accident. A body has not yet been discovered. Photos below were released by the Madera County Sheriff and Mono County Sheriff Search and Rescue. More photos and details available here. (more…) Related Articles:Helio [ Full article ] |
