Investigators of the Fossett Plane remains have stated that they found them at the crash site, only a day after they had discovered the wreckage of the plane which was flown by the adventurer Steve Fossett. The millionaire had disappeared 13 months ago in the mountains of Sierra Nevada in east-central California. Madera County’s sheriff John Anderson said the bone they had found will be send to the Justice Department for further analysis.

The aircraft owned by Fossett, 63, was found on Wednesday at about 120 miles of the ranch in Nevada, where he departed on September 3, 2007. Fossett had said then that he was going on a short flight but he never returned. He was declared dead in February, as his wife’s request.

Mark V. Rosenker, the acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, stated that some parts of the plane were found together with other pieces of his aircraft in a debris area of 150 feet wide and 400 feet long. It seems that the plane had hit a mountain at about 10,100 feet altitude and then exploded. This had been reported after the engine was found 300 feet far from the fuselage, which showed a big impact of the crash.

The investigations made at the time when Fossett disappeared were also made in the region where the plane was found now, but it seemed that the area was too dense with mountainous forests. Further investigations hadn’t stopped after finding the bone and the remains of the plane, but it hardly to find anything else that might change the main hypothesis.
