Small Plane Disappears Near Bloomington

A six-seat Cessna aircraft disappeared near Bloomington last night. Air traffic controllers say the plane was preparing to land at the Monroe County Airport when it dropped off their radar screens. Rescue crews have picked up an emergency radio beacon, but at last report, rain and fog had kept them from finding the aircraft.

Update: State Police say rescuers have found the plane just south of the Monroe County airport and that all five people aboard died. Police have not released any names, but they say at least some of the people on board were Indiana University students.
