CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : MILPITAS : Plane Wreck Found in Reservoir Bed

With water levels lowered by drought conditions, the wreckage of a small airplane was spotted at the bottom of Calaveras Reservoir six miles east of Milpitas, Santa Clara County officials reported. Early reports to the Federal Aviation Administration were that the skeletal remains of two people were seen in the aircraft. Officials said the plane may have been in the water for 10 to 20 years. Deputies attempting to reach the plane had to turn back because they began sinking in mud, a Santa Clara County sheriff’s spokesman said. They will try again today. The reservoir is a storage area for the San Francisco water system.
