Guadalajara, Mexico — The looted bodies of the 45 victims of Mexico's worst air disaster were being brought to Guadalajara today for identification. Investigators are trying to learn what caused the Constellation of the Aeronaves de Mexico line to crash into El Picacho Peak Monday night during an electrical storm. The army was ordered to make a house-by-house search of Tlajomulco village in an effort to recover property looted from the wreckage.
