Authorities say five members of a family from Georgia who were visiting Cooperstown, New York, for a baseball tournament died when their small plane crashed in a rural part of the state.
The corporate jet disappeared shortly after departing the Burlington airport for Providence, R.I., on Jan. 27, 1971. At least 17 searches since then had turned up nothing.
Authorities received emergency calls at the same time about a structure fire and an aircraft that went off radar three miles from a Florida airport. It is still unknown how many fatalities there were.
Air Force Special Operations Command has identified the eight service members lost when their Osprey aircraft crashed off the coast of Japan last week. The crew ranged in ages from 24 to 36 years old and came from eight states, including U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jake M. Turnage, 25, of Kennesaw, Georgia.
The crash left parts of Montgomery County without power on Sunday evening. For hours, the passengers remained stuck 100 feet in the air as officials prepared to rescue them.
All three people and all 53 dogs on the plane survived, although there were some minor injuries among both groups of mammals. The flight was bringing rescue dogs from New Orleans to Milwaukee.
The equipment was extremely damaged, however, so it's unclear how much information it will provide. There were 132 people aboard the flight, which crashed on Monday.
