Record-breaking aviator Fossett missing

Steve Fossett, the adventurer who cheated death several times during his perambulations around the globe by air and sea, was missing on Tuesday night after taking off from a ranch in Nevada for a short flight in a single-engine plane. Rescue teams were scouring the rugged terrain of western Nevada on Tuesday for a plane wreck or any other trace of Fossett.
