In Pakse, Laos- a plane carrying 49 people crashed into the Mekong River. Rescuers have been in fishing boats pulling out bodies from the muddy Mekong River on Thursday. Officials have ruled that there are no survivors. The plane crashed because of a very violent storm. So far they have only found nine of the forty nine bodies. In fact they haven't even found the rest of the plane. Just some luggage and the props that fell off when it hit the ground and slid into the murky depths of the Mekong River. They are trying to use divers in order to find the submerged aerial vehicle. Some of the nine bodies were discovered by fishermen twelve miles down from the crash site. Thailand has sent thirty scuba divers in an attempt to help search for the plane and bodies. They are still unsure of what made the plane crash. Once they have found the plane they will be able to look at the "black box" a device inside of the plane that says what happened to the plane.
