San Jose Mercury: Experts: Dogged determination will find Fossett
Quote:
New technology is leading the way, but commanders and rescue experts say old-fashioned doggedness and a slow, methodical scouring of the harsh Nevada landscape by trained observers provides the best hope for finding millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, dead or alive.
As the search stretched into its 12th day on Friday, Civil Air Patrol Maj. Cynthia Ryan said the operation may be tedious, but in the end, they usually find what they're looking for.
[...]
Instructions on the Web site give an example of what to look for. One view shows a tiny outline of an airplane, shown in white silhouette.
The problem, skeptics say, is that it's unlikely Fossett's plane is intact.
"I would be surprised if we find it in one piece," Snyder said.
[CAP Major] Ryan said as far as she's concerned, the Internet satellite search is distracting at best.
"I don't mean to sound like a naysayer," she said. "I'm a total geek. I love technology. But in this case, it's a bunch of people trying to do something they don't have the training for."
