They attached the wheel to a larger, metal wheel which they rolled on the side of Bucks Elbow Mountain. "It was a very emotional and stressful time for my family, not knowing if my uncle was alive or dead," said Dave Whetzel, whose uncle died in the crash. Mark Cline, of Lexington, led the expedition -- and devised the system to get the wheel back to the wreckage. Once the group got to the site, they read aloud the names of the people who died in the crash.
