California's severe drought just revealed the wreckage from a 1960s plane crash

California’s severe drought may have just helped solve a decades old mystery of a missing plane. 

Due to lake levels hitting historic lows because of the abnormally dry conditions, what appears to be the wreckage of a plane was uncovered last week. In 1965, two planes collided mid-air over Lake Folsom, with one of the planes crashing into the lake with four people on board. 

Only one body was recovered and the plane was never found. Authorities conducted two extensive searches, one in 1965 and one in 2014, with both being unsuccessful. Now with the help of the severe drought, the wreckage has finally been located. Who found it and will authorities attempt to recover the plane?
