A thick haze in the area grounded planes overnight, but the sea search continued on a limited basis. The survivability in those waters has been exceeded, but I think those are only statistics and they're only factors in all of the things we're looking at. No new debris was found overnight. All-terrain vehicles set out just after 5 a.m. Sunday to comb the beaches of Aquinnah for more signs of the wreckage.

The Kennedy family notified the Federal Aviation Administration that Kennedy's plane was overdue shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday. After contacting airports along the plane's possible route to see if Kennedy had made an emergency landing, the Air Force and Coast Guard launched a search for the missing plane.
