Planes collided over Everglades: Indian student pilots body still missing

As crews on Tuesday wrapped up the recovery of two small airplanes that collided over the Everglades, a federal investigator began crafting his initial report on the incident.
“I have sufficient pieces to draw a picture [of the crash],” National Transportation Safety Board investigator Paul Cox said as more wreckage was recovered from the muck and water in the Everglades. “I will supplement that with radar tracks and voice communications.”
The planes, a Cessna 152 and a Piper Twin Comanche, crashed about 3 p.m. Saturday in a trapezoid-shaped area where pilots practice maneuvers over the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge in southwest Palm Beach County, near the Broward County line.
Crews on airboats have worked over the past three days to recover the bodies of the pilots and debris.
A shirt floating among twisted pieces of debris led workers to the body of Henry Duckworth, 56, of Waverly, Pa., who was flying the Piper from Ocala to Pompano Air Park.
Investigators are performing a DNA analysis on other remains to see if they belong to the Cessna pilot. That plane was registered to Kemper Aviation of Lantana, and the company identified the pilot as Cleon Alvares, 25, of Mumbai, India.
Alvares was a student and had logged more than 100 hours of flight time since he arrived in the United States in July.
His body had not been found by Tuesday.
Most of the wreckage was recovered by Tuesday morning, but crews from Air and Sea Crash Recovery Inc. went out again into the saw grass and muck to retrieve any other bits of debris that fit onto their airboats.
