Post by moverall101 »

The Venezuelan authorities have located the wreckage of YV2081, a Let-410 operated by the domestic airline TRANSAVEN, that went missing with 14 people onboard on January 4, 2008, while flying from Caracas to Los Roques. The plane was found resting at the bottom of the sea, some 900mts. deep. The discovery was made by an U.S. oceanographic ship which is in the area as part of an Italian - Venezuelan research project, said a government's press release.

Here's an image of said plane as it was found:
