Fossett still missing but we found six other planes! WTF?

This is quite odd in regards to the search for missing Steve Fossett:

Forty-five aircraft have scoured an area of 10,000 square miles in an attempt to pinpoint Fossett's presumably crashed Bellanca Citabria Super Decathalon. In the process, they have discovered the remains of six other aircraft, but no sign of Fossett.

Is it just me, or does it surprise you as well that they happened to stumble across 6 further plane wrecks? I understand how they are making such an effort to find Steve since he is so high profile. I'd be pissed nevertheless though if someone in my family happened to have gone missing in one of those other 6 planes.
