Tuesday, 5 June 2007Medical plane crashes in Lake Michigan
A medical transport plane carrying six people has gone down in Lake Michigan in the US state of Wisconsin, but there is no word on survivors, authorities said.
Two crew members and four passengers were aboard the jet, which had just left General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Fire Lieutenant Lawrence Jenkins said.
Medical transport planes typically carry patients or organs for transplants.
The Milwaukee Police Department notified the Coast Guard that a plane went missing about 4pm (0700 AEST), Petty Officer David Warfel said.
The Coast Guard found the plane about 20 minutes later, he said.
