KPRC 2’s Gage Goulding was the only journalist on the water with first responders as they combed through the wreckage, looking for the final remaining passenger and preparing the wreckage to be hauled away.
The Beech King Air ANX 1209 aircraft was bringing a burn patient to Galveston when it crashed into the bay. Five people died in the crash. Two people survived and another person remains missing.
Flight records show the plane departed from General Mariano Escobedo International Airport in Mexico before attempting to land at Galveston Scholes International Airport.
Officials say fog was thick at the time of the crash, significantly limiting visibility.
As recovery efforts continue, investigators are also examining the wreckage for clues into what went wrong as the aircraft approached the runway.
