The wreckage of the plane was at the bottom of a lightly wooded hill and police said it may have spun through the trees before plowing into the ground “It looks as if the plane was rammed into the ground upside down,” one searcher said. ‘ Some of the pieces were buried two feet into the ground.” i - The CAP pitot' who Spotted the plane said he had to make two passes over the cornfield before he was sure he had found the wreckage.
