Steve Fossett’s ID and belongings may have been found

Hikers at Mammoth Lakes, near California's Yosemite Park, have stumbled upon two FAA IDs that bear aviator Steve Fossett's name, as well as a jacket and some cash. Fossett has been listed missing since disappearing from a solo flight in September of last year. Internet users had teamed up to review satellite photos to find traces of Fossett without success. One reasonable conclusion from this: Random chance provides more effective results than sit-at-your-desk crowdsourcing. [Fox News]
