Use of SI in Search and Rescue

The story behind this image is that a lady ran off in the Mississippi River around Alton Illinois in 2002. For three years the search for the car/ her body was conducted using other sonar equipment and dive teams; however, they had no luck in being able to locate/image the car. In 2005 a man was fishing in the area with the 987c SI unit and recorded this image. Immediately he knew that this was a car and knew the story of the missing lady. He notified authorities and they were able to recover the car along with the body of this lady.

The image above was taken on the Tennessee River. This image clearly shows a Cessna airplane that crashed into the Tennessee River in 2003. For two years search teams had looked for the Cessna without success. Also in the image you can see large schools of baitfish. The Cessna was recovered after it was found by the side imaging unit. A photo of the recovered Cessna is shown below.
