On a Friday afternoon over Croatia's Adriatic coast, a small ultralight aircraft traveling from the Czech Republic disappeared from radar and was later found in the limestone mountains of Paklenica national park, some 60 kilometers from Zadar. By nightfall, rescuers had confirmed two fatalities. It is a quiet, ancient kind of tragedy — two people in motion between one place and another, and then suddenly not — one that now awaits the patient work of investigation to explain what the final moments held.
