A plane crash in Florida has killed three people after the aircraft descended from the sky and landed on a house. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the pilot of the 1957 Beechcraft H35 Bonanza was attempting to make an emergency landing at a Flagler County Airport when the incident took place. The accident happened on Fri., Jan. 4, 2013 at approximately 2:20 p.m.
The doomed aircraft was en route from Fort Pierce to Knoxville, Tenn. and bound for Knoxville Downtown Island Airport when the pilot observed that it was experiencing mechanical problems. Flying the airplane into bad weather, the pilot battled a shaky engine and smoke emanating from the craft as he tried to maneuver safely. Several minutes after the pilot reported the problems to air traffic control, the plane crashed into a Florida home owned by local Florida woman Susan Crockett. The homeowner was transported to a local hospital as a precaution, according to The Huffington Post, and was listed in stable condition.
The small single-engine plane crash in Florida killed all three passengers on board, but no one on the ground was injured or killed. According to Yahoo! News, the three victims have not been identified.
