the plane was filled with smoke just before the crash.
The everglades are posing an immense challenge to investigators. the mucky
combination of water and mud is said to be up to 40-feet thick in some places,
making it virtually impossible to extract bodies or airplane parts. one idea is
to build a pontoon bridge from a nearby levy.
Another is to build a dam
