The plane of a Pakistani father and son, who were attempting to circle the world in 30 days, reportedly crashed into the Pacific sea near the American Samoa Islands.
According to The Express Tribune, Hawker Beechcraft Bonanza, the aircraft in which father-son duo of Babar Suleman and Haris Suleman were flying from American Samoa Island to Hawaii, went down shortly after it took off from Pago Pago International Airport.
Hiba Suleman, Haris' sister, confirmed on Facebook that the body of her brother had been found while a search operation for locating her father's body is still on.
Haris' uncle, Air Vice Marshal Abid Rao, confirmed the news of their deaths.
The cause of the crash has however, not been ascertained.
