Plane found at bottom of Lake Mead months after pilots "miraculously" survived emergency landing in water

A small plane that was forced to make an emergency landing three months ago has been found at the bottom of Lake Mead near Nevada's Boulder City, according to a newspaper. The two pilots on board managed to escape through the window as the plane was sinking and swim ashore.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that a local environmental consulting firm located the sunken aircraft last month using a remotely operated vehicle and sonar technology.

The pilot of the single engine Cessna 182C said the plane had engine failure as he and his co-pilot headed for the North Las Vegas Airport on Oct. 1.
