NEW ORLEANS—Divers found the wreckage of a small plane that crashed into the huge, mud-bottomed lake that forms New Orleans’ northern shore, but two men remained missing Sunday, the New Orleans Fire Department said. There should be more information about them on Monday, when the plane will be pulled back out of Lake Pontchartrain, said Capt. Holmes said a professional diver helped find the wreckage Sunday afternoon. It was about 1,000 feet (300 metres) west of the runway the Cessna was heading for when it crashed during a training exercise around 9 p.m. Friday, he said. Holmes said he did not know who was being trained, or what sort of exercise was being performed.
