Workers found a plane at the bottom of a California lake, potentially solving a 56-year-old mystery

I wondered about that too. Was the Red Sea plane supposed to have been moved to CA? I thought everyone and everything
was LEAVING California??

I was about to post the exact same observation. "Journalism" at its finest. Never mind how many BASIC details about the incident that she didn't bother to include in the story. I would imagine her "research" into the story amounted to about 3 minutes worth of Google searching.

Thank you... I remember reading about that one, but did not put the 2 together when I saw the article... A sad situation.

“ Low water levels helped the company’s sonar equipment get a clear picture of a plane’s tail and propeller, and the images of the plane in the water match the Piper Comanche 250 lost more than five decades ago.

"He sees something on the bottom that looks man-made, and that’s when we say, ‘There’s definitely something down there,’ and maybe it’s the plane," president of Seafloor Systems John Timplin told CBS 13 News of Sacramento.

Three people were killed when the plane crashed after a midair collision on New Year’s Day. The bodies were never recovered, despite searches as recently as 2014.”

I think what makes this newsworthy is the discovery of the missing plane that may contain the remains of three passengers which has been the subject of periodic searches over the past decades.

As it turns out, this is a different plane.
