Recovery effort continues in Lake Michigan plane crash

LUDINGTON, Mich. (AP) - Authorities have continued efforts to

recover the bodies of four people missing since a small plane

plunged into Lake Michigan while flying a cancer patient to the

Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

Mason County Undersheriff Tom Trenner says recovery efforts

resumed Tuesday morning, with boats in the water and crews

searching beaches between Ludington and Manistee. They also were

looking for signs of the plane.

Trenner said nothing new was found Monday.

After combing the area for 27 hours, authorities abandoned hope

Saturday of finding alive the four missing since the crash Friday

several miles off the west Michigan coast. The pilot was rescued.

The plane was flying to Minnesota from the central Michigan town

of Alma.
