BREVARD COUNTY • TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA (FOX NEWS) – Pieces of debris found near the Bahamas were confirmed to be from the same type of plane as the Florida-bound aircraft that vanished earlier this week with four Americans, including two children, on board.
The United States Coast Guard said the MU-2B airplane parts were discovered about 15 miles east of Eleuthera.
Search crews are still scavenging the area on Wednesday to find the aircraft and to look for survivors.
Crews have covered more than 8,200 square mile in the last day looking for the plane. Air traffic control in Miami lost radar and radio contact with it just after 2 p.m. on Monday. It was flying about 37 miles east of the island in the Bahamas. The plane departed from Borinquen, Puerto Rico about 11 a.m. and was headed to Titusville, Florida.
