Default Help search for Steve Fossett

Tom,

CAP has been keeping most of this stuff close the chest, not releasing any
data over what they've been telling the news media - - almost. I do have
contacts within the CAP, though it's unlikely they could give me info that
is privileged.

There is a national database of wrecks, and according to the news, these
newly found wrecks will be added to that DB after next of kin have been
notified. Perhaps someone more versed in computer searches than me can find
the url for that DB?

As you might expect, there's a fair amount of unconfirmed rumor and such
being bandied about - - though most is not fit to print.

Several
undiscovered crash sites have been found in this current search (no info
on
these yet, probably until next of kin are notified).


Saw you on NBC news Saturday morning - too bad it took something like
this to get you in the spotlight

Since you are close to the action, it would really help if we could
get the coordinates of any known crash sites that are within the
search area. It would likely provide a better feel for what we're
looking for compared to the sample image of an intact airplane on the
search page.
