Crews scour Fossett crash site
Updated on 01 October 2008
Thirteen months after millionaire thrill-seeker Steve Fossett mysteriously disappeared, authorities finally know what happened to his small single-engine plane: It slammed straight into a mountain on a cloudy day.
"It was a hard-impact crash, and he would've died instantly," said Jeff Page, emergency management co-ordinator for Lyon County, Nevada, who assisted in the search.
The debris, hidden from easy view for more than a year, littered an area longer than a football field and nearly as wide, on a steep Sierra Nevada mountainside some 10,000 feet above sea level.
