ST. IGNANCE, Mich. — The U.S. Coast Guard and Michigan State Police are looking for a pilot who put hundreds of people at risk during the 4th of July holiday.
Video released today shows a small plane flying under the Mackinac Bridge on June 28, just as many families were headed north for the national holiday. Detectives say hundreds of cars were on the bridge when the plane flew under the main center span.
A Chief Petty Officer with the Coast Guard recorded the video while riding in a boat across the straits that day. Now investigators are asking for anyone who shot pictures or video of the aircraft to send them in, hoping to identify the plane, and ultimately the pilot.
