CNN.com has been covering the full story on the progress for the search of Steve Fossett who has been missing 10 days. CNN reported:
Searchers followed up on a tip received Wednesday from a woman who had been staying in a remote cabin just over the state line in California, at Sonora Pass north of Yosemite National Park.
“She was in her cabin, and heard a plane fly over … and then she heard a loud explosion or a loud crash noise and saw a little bit of smoke,” said Maj. Ed Locke of the Nevada National Guard.
The Alpine County, California investigators met with the woman who gave the tip on Thursday. They are attempting to pinpoint where she heard the sounds, and when she heard them. They say it will take about four or five days.
The search is about 80 percent complete according to Maj. Ed Locke of the Nevada National Guard. But that is not to discourage people from wanting to help. Although there has been no sign of Fossett or his plane after ten days.
Searchers are on the ground combing through an area where two witnesses saw a plane fly into a canyon and not come out. CNN.com states, “The Civil Air Patrol suspended its air searches Thursday because of high winds. They were scheduled to resume Friday.”
Fossett went missing on Labor Day and since that point, “hundreds of rescuers and dozens of aircraft have taken part in the air and ground search effort, which encompasses the rugged high desert in western Nevada and eastern California” (CNN.com).
Volunteers have been using the Fossett MTurk project to help find any sign of him. The MTurk allows people to use to find crash sites. People all over the world have been calling in with information.
