Oh man, hopefully they got out, but...... God Speed to the pilot(s) and any passengers. I wish hadn't asked for the links.

 

[siucavflight]

I hope as well, but looking at this, there is no way anyone got out.

 

[siucavflight]

All 4 confirmed dead.

Gods speed, rest in peace. I know the pilot, very, very nice guy.

Just heard about it on WGN's news, came here to see what anyone knew... what a tragedy, thoughts and prayers with the family

 

[Dumbluck]

sorry to hear that SIU

All 4 confirmed dead.

Godspeed, rest in peace. I know the pilot, very, very nice guy.

Guys, just having gone through this myself with my friend who died in the Chalks Crash, believe me when I say from the bottom of my heart you have my most sincere condolences, as well as the thoughts and prayers of my family and I.

I'm very sorry to hear about this - it calls to mind what is most important in our lives, and the need to set our priorities in the right order in case (God forbid) this should happen to us instead of the other guy.

May God watch over those four souls who lost their lives in this accident.

Here is a video of it. They had no chance. Three frames, and then a fireball.

Well, that's pretty much the worst way to hit. Ouch. My old flight instructor used to say if you have to put one in... "the angle of arrival determines the rate of survival"

Saw the security camera photos tonight. makes you sick to your stomach. talked to a guy who flew in right before the 421B. They said they were picking up a good amount of clear ice on their Lr 35, they were doing the circle approach from what I heard.

I used to work at NAJ, it's definitely a plane I've fueled in the past. I remember talking with the pilot quite a few times. Hard to forget him as his daughter is very attractive. Poor guy. RIP. Praying for the family and friends.

Actually, the aircraft was owned by 2 different people, both pilots and they used the plane for business. Which of the 2 did you know? Both were on board.

I knew K.K.
From what I understand he actually owned the plane with 2 others. I knew K.K. back when he had a Cessna Skymaster, I had not talked to him in about a year.

He flew out of a nearby airport of ours (OJC). I guess my boss saw 4 or 5 guys heading out to their 421. She said 2 were well dressed nice looking guys. I guess one of them was joking about if the other could fly this thing. My prayers are with his family.

Terrible.

Very sorry for the loss, Ken was a great guy.

The surveillance camera footage is scary. Problably did two turns in the spin, even that. I flew over the site several times yesterday, its really suprising how small that crash site is, for a larger aircraft like such, its probably 30 feet by 30 feet, of burn debris.

Like somebody mentioned earlier, I think ice is a definite factor... got all iced up, put the flaps down, which made it worse, and spun.

Did he sell that Skymaster? I used to work at Signature, I always hated fueling that plane!

Tragic story. There is a good group of people investigating the accident, so I think it's only right everyone keeps their opinions to themselves..
