An attempt to set a world record fails when the plane crashes into the Pacific Ocean.
A family spokeswoman says an Indiana teenager has been killed in a plane crash while trying to set a record for an around-the-world flight.
The spokeswoman says the plane flown by 17-year-old Haris Suleman went down shortly after leaving Pago Pago in American Samoa.
The two left Indiana June 19 in hopes of breaking a world record and raising money for a nonprofit that builds schools in Pakistan.
His body has been recovered, but crews are still searching for his father, who was also on board.
They planned to return home Sunday.
