California’s drought may have helped solve the mystery of a 1965 plane crash

Underwater surveyors found the remains of a plane in Folsom Lake, which currently has historically low water levels

California's crushing drought may have helped to uncover the remains of a plane crash from 56 years ago.

Last week, a local underwater surveying company was testing equipment at Folsom Lake, about 30 miles north-east of Sacramento, when sonar revealed something unexpected. Upon further inspection, workers with Seafloor Systems found the mystery object was an airplane in one of the lake's deepest points.
