The
New Orleans Fire Department says crews plan to retrieve the wreckage of a small
plane that crashed last week into the muddy bottom of the lake just north of
New Orleans.
Capt.
Edwin Holmes says that may also bring information about two men who have been
missing since the crash during a training exercise Friday night.
He
says retrieval was to begin early Monday about 1,000 feet west of the runway
the Cessna was heading for.
Authorities
said there were two men and a woman aboard, but a private boat rescued the
woman. She was taken to the Ochsner Health System hospital just outside New
Orleans.
Lake
Pontchartrain is a roughly triangular tidal basin covering about 630 square
miles but averaging only 10 to 15 feet deep.
