Remains Found Near Fossett Plane Wreck

Early this morning, the National Transportation Safety Board sent investigators to California to learn more. By days end, federal investigators said that they had uncovered minimal remains of body parts, amidst the wreckage, but they were unsure whether or not they were Fossett's yet.

Meantime, a recovery effort at 10,000 feet near Mammoth Lakes could soon get tricky. These mountains accumulate some of the deepest snow in the United States, and the first snowfall could come in days, if not hours.
