Chinese search for missing US pilot

EDITORS PLEASE NOTE: THIS EDIT CONTAINS MATERIAL WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY 4:3

Hope for finding a missing U.S. pilot who crashed in northeastern China is fading.

Crews continue to comb the lake where the plane went down on Tuesday.

(SOUNDBITE) (Mandarin) MEMBER OF RESCUE TEAM ZHANG FANG, SAYING:

"Judging by the fact that the plane has been wrecked to pieces and the terrible situation of the other crew member, there is little chance for the pilot to have survived."

One crew member onboard was found near the wreck but later died.

The pilot, stuntman David Rigg, was preparing for an upcoming air show in China when the crash happened.
