CLEVELAND (AP) — The disappointing search for a small plane that disappeared over Lake Erie near Cleveland’s shores carrying six people has turned into a recovery effort.
Coast Guard official Michael Mullen offered his condolences to the family and friends of those who lost loved ones.
John T. Fleming, chief executive of a Columbus-based beverage distribution company, was piloting the plane. His wife, their two teenage sons, and two neighbors were aboard.
City officials and the Coast Guard have scheduled a press conference later Saturday morning to discuss the recovery efforts.
