There were no survivors in a private plane crash off the North Carolina coast Sunday that killed eight people, including four teens, and a successful businessman.

One body has been recovered from the area and there's 'no indication any of the people onboard survived the crash,' the Carteret County Sheriff confirmed Monday afternoon.

Recovery efforts continued after the Pilatus PC-12 airplane went down four miles east of Drum Inlet. Before it disappeared, the single-engine aircraft was spotted on radar 'behaving erratically,' the US Coast Guard said.

Among its occupants was a group of high school friends and entrepreneur Hunter Parks.

Sad story.

[Historic NY]

1. Before it disappeared, the single-engine aircraft was spotted on radar 'behaving erratically,

mechanical or human?

2. There is an old line about hunting

Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you.

4. I've certainly seen that phrase before, but given that it was a plane that "got" them,

it doesn’t seem applicable in this case.

Duck Hunting - it's a 3 1/2 hour drive around Pamlico Sound, so they took his plane.
