Coast Guard finds human remains among plane debris
Comments 0 | Recommend 0PORT RICHEY, Fla. (AP) - The Coast Guard says it has recovered human remains among a two-mile debris field off Florida's Gulf Coast from a small plane that crashed with five people on board en route to Tampa.
A Coast Guard spokesman says the remains were found by the Cutter Alligator as it searched overnight through the wreckage of the twin-engine Cessna. It was unclear how many people the remains belong to.
The plane was flying from McKinney, Texas, when it went down Wednesday afternoon about 20 miles west of Port Richey. The Federal
Aviation Administration says air traffic controllers in Jacksonville lost radio and radar contact with the plane after it reported turbulence at 1:52 p.m.
A statement from Quality Powder Coating, LP, said two company members and members of their families were on board the plane.
