COAST GUARD: WRECKAGE OF TEEN PILOTS PLANE FOUND The U.S. Coast Guard has found wreckage from an airplane piloted by an Indiana teenager who was killed when he crashed during an around-the-world flight, a Coast Guard spokesman said Thursday. A C-130 pilot spotted sections of the planes fuselage and other aircraft components Wednesday night in a remote section of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of American Samoa, spokesman Gene Maestas in Honolulu said, and ships later recovered some of that debris. Maestas said a Coast Guard plane was looking for additional debris and for Babar Suleman on Thursday, and was working with two ships. He said the search area was originally about a mile off the coast of American Samoa but has since expanded. The debris is scattering because of wind and currents so the search area is widening a little bit, he said. Theres a number of small islands, very small islands, in this area, but its very remote. abcnews.go/US/wireStory/spokeswoman-indiana-teen-pilot-dies-crash-24684228
