From the page,"Yes, I am a terminator, don't hinder my mission by canceling the TV show :
Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles

If you cancel it, skynet will become a joke, and my mission will fail. And there's also a chance I might revert back to my original programming to help skynet like I use to."

No body found in Fossett plane wreckage

By Jill Lufrano and Alan Levin, USA TODAY
MAMMOTH LAKES, Calif. — Searchers found the wreckage of Steve Fossett's plane in California's rugged Sierra Nevada just over a year after the millionaire adventurer vanished on a solo flight, and the craft appears to have hit the mountainside head-on, authorities said Thursday.

Most of the plane's fuselage disintegrated on impact, and the engine was found several hundred feet away at an elevation of 9,700 feet, authorities said.

"It was a hard-impact crash, and he would've died instantly," said Jeff Page, emergency management coordinator for Lyon County, Nev., who assisted the search.

An aerial search late Wednesday spotted the wreckage in the Inyo National Forest near the town of Mammoth Lakes, Anderson said at a news conference, and searchers confirmed it was Fossett's single-engine Bellanca plane.

ON DEADLINE: Latest on search for Fossett

Anderson said no human remains were found in the wreckage.

"It's quite often if you don't find remains within a few days, because of animals, you'll find nothing at all," Anderson said.

Teams led by the sheriff's department would continue the search for remains Thursday, while the National Transportation Safety Board was en route to probe the cause of the crash, he said.

Mark Rosenker, acting chairman of the NTSB, said the agency has reviewed photographs of the site and after a preliminary look, "it appears to be consistent with a nonsurvivable accident." He also said it was "indicative of a high-impact crash."

The NTSB would bring in a private contractor to help with recovery of the airplane, Rosenker said. "It will take weeks, perhaps months, to get a better understanding of what happened," he said.

"I remember the day he crashed, there were large thunderheads over the peaks around us," Mono County Undersheriff Ralph Obenberger said, gesturing to the mountains flanking Mammoth Lakes.

Authorities announced Wednesday that a hiker in rugged mountain wilderness found items belonging to Fossett. A pilot license and a membership card in the Soaring Society of America found off a trail in eastern California belonged to the multimillionaire, said Erica Stuart, a spokeswoman for Madera County.

Preston Morrow also found other IDs, ten $100 bills and a $5 bill on Monday. Morrow, 43, said he was hiking off regular trails when he spotted money on the ground on a steep ridge at about 10,000 feet.

"Wow, hundred dollar bills," Morrow recalled.

He did not realize initially that the items, which bore the name James Stephen Fossett, were linked to the famous aviator and adventurer. He turned them over to police Wednesday after unsuccessfully attempting to contact the Fossett family. He returned to the area with his wife and three friends in search of other items and the wreckage. His wife found a pullover fleece, but they saw no sign of a plane or human remains, Morrow said.

Fossett's widow, Peggy, said she was aware of the discovery. "I am hopeful that this search will locate the crash site and my husband's remains," she said in a statement.

The discovery prompted a renewed effort to locate Fossett and the single-engine plane he borrowed Sept. 3, 2007, from a Nevada ranch owned by hotel magnate Barron Hilton. A search team headed into the wilderness about noon Wednesday.

Jeff Page, emergency manager of Lyon County, Nevada, who worked on the original search, said a California Highway Patrolman and a commercial pilot had both reported seeing what they thought was Fossett's plane in the Mammoth Lakes area.

An extensive effort to locate Fossett included aerial searches over this area, about 90 miles south of Hilton's ranch. The most intense searching was in areas to the north.

Fossett, who made a fortune trading futures and options on Chicago markets, gained worldwide fame for more than 100 attempts and successes in setting records in high-tech balloons, gliders, jets and boats. In 2002, he became the first person to circle the world solo in a balloon.� He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 2007.� He also swam the English Channel, completed an Ironman Triathlon and climbed some of the world's best know peaks.
