The wreckage of a Montana plane crash is found using a victim's smart watch location
WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. -- Search teams located the site of an airplane crash that killed three people near Yellowstone National Park using the last known location of the smart watch from one of the victims, authorities said Monday.
