SAN ANTONIO – The Navy and families of three sailors killed in a 1946 plane crash in Antarctica are clashing over whether to bring the men home.
 
Petty Officer 1st Class Fred Williams, Ensign Maxwell Lopez and Petty Officer 1st Class Wendell Hendersin died when their PBM-5 Mariner went down in a storm.
 
The six survivors wrapped their remains in parachutes and buried them under a piece of the aircraft's wing tip. The Navy considers the site a final resting place, akin to the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor.
 
Recovery supporters say glacial movement could cause the site to break off into the sea.
 
They're forming a nonprofit to raise money for a recovery effort and want to meet with President Obama. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command has offered $200,000 to pay for a flight.
