NTSB says crucial plane parts found three miles from Florida crash site

Investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board have located key aircraft components roughly three miles away from the site of a Florida plane crash. Because the parts were discovered at such a distance, the agency concluded they detached from the aircraft before it hit the ground. The finding suggests the pieces separated mid-flight rather than in the impact itself. The NTSB has not yet detailed the specific components recovered, and the investigation into the cause of the crash is continuing.
