During a press conference Tuesday, Burke Lakefront Airport Commissioner Khalid Bahhur said the area where crews are searching is about the size of a football field. There are locations within the area where divers are concentrating their efforts, he said.
Divers were able to find a portion of the fuselage, personal clothing, a front wheel, several seats, and an engine during their search Monday. More than 170 pieces of debris have been recovered from the Cessna Citation 525 that went down on Dec. 29. Human remains were also found, the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner confirmed this week.
Wednesday afternoon, the NTSB confirmed the plane's cockpit recorder was workingand recorded the flight before the plane crashed into Lake Erie.
