Snippet:

Quebec provincial police divers recovered the wreckage of the Republic RC-3 SeaBee on Wednesday morning from its longtime resting place 50 metres below the surface of the lake, about 75 kilometres northeast of Ottawa.

"We have the firefighters here to try to open the airplane to try and get the human remains inside at the back of the airplane," said police spokeswoman Melanie Larouche.

The team has been working since Monday to retrieve the plane, which flipped and sank while trying to make an emergency landing during a snowstorm on Nov. 21, 1957, while pilot Gaétan Deshaies and hunters Tony Chivazza, Philippe Ouimet and Louis Hamel were aboard.
