Atlas Air flight 3591 crashed into Trinity Bay, about 35 miles east of Houston. As of Sunday afternoon, two bodies had been found and the search for the third one was ongoing.
The flight was headed to Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, having departed from Miami a few hours before. The cause of the crash is unclear at this time. Search crews are looking for the remains of the third crew member, as well as the “black box” that will hopefully bring light to the cause of the crash.
Search and investigation of the crash are still ongoing at this time.
