Search For Midair Collision Survivors Now Recovery

LOS ANGELES - Officials say they’re no longer searching for survivors of last week’s midair collision between a U.S. Coast Guard plane and a Marine Corps helicopter over the Pacific Ocean.
   
Petty Officer First Class Allison Conroy says there’s little chance of finding survivors among the seven military personnel aboard the Coast Guard C-130 plane and the two in the Marine Corps Super Cobra helicopter.
   
Those on the Coast Guard plane included 35-year-old Petty Officer 2nd Class Carl Grigonis, from the Cleveland suburb of Mayfield Heights.
   
Conroy says the active search for survivors has been suspended and the investigation has begun into the cause of Thursday’s crash.
