Planes Collide, Crash Into Sea

Two small planes collided and crashed into the sea about a mile offshore Thursday. The body of one man was found, and as many as five others were missing.

“Both planes sunk,” said Coast Guard Lt. George Eldredge. “There was some debris in the water, but there’s nothing there now. Just some seat cushions out there now.”

Five helicopters, a Navy airplane and several boats scoured the area for hours after the 1 p.m. crash.
