A plane crashes in Puerto Rico mountains having 2 Americans:West indies.
The plane took off from Tortola in the British Virgin Islands and was heading to San Juan.
The twin-engine plane slammed into the side of El Yunque mountain and was totally destroyed.
A team of machete-wielding rescuers, whose progress was slowed by rain, fog, dense woods
and soggy underbrush, had to turn back after a five-hour hike because a steep mountain
blocked their passage.
Search teams said they found bits of scattered wreckage — but no survivors.
Search teams slogged up a muddy, densely-wooded mountainside on Wednesday to locate
a small plane with three people on board — including two American tourists — that crashed
into a fog-shrouded forest east of Puerto Rico's capital.
The rescuers called out for survivors in the wet forest — but no answers came.
