Another Kentucky crash?

[Beertini]

I would like to know if anyone knows any information about this crash.

I just received a call from my father in law and it a good family friend just crashed with all of his family (4 or five children, I believe) on board. I fear that this link refers to their accident. All I know is that my relatives received a message from the pilot's parents saying that there 'was an accident and nobody survived.'

I am merely looking for more information--please help if you have anything to offer. My wife and extended family appreciate any help.

God bless...

Thanks,
Beertini

RIP to the fallen.

Notice how the local female resident "heard" the plane stall right before it crashed.

Plane Carrying 7 Crashes in Kentucky
AP
JACKSON, Ky. (Aug. 28) - A small plane carrying seven people crashed in a wooded, mountainous area of southeastern Kentucky on Monday, and authorities said no survivors had been found.

The crash site is so remote rescue workers on all-terrain vehicles needed help from a helicopter to find it, said Buddy Rogers, a spokesman for the Kentucky Division of Emergency Management.

"At this time, no survivors have been located," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Jody Sims. He did not have further details on the crash site or any bodies found.

Kathleen Bergen, spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration in Atlanta, said seven people were aboard the twin-engine Cessna that departed from Kickapoo Downtown Airport near Wichita Falls, Texas. She said she didn't know the destination because the pilot did not file a flight plan.

The crash happened Monday afternoon in Breathitt County, 100 miles southeast of Lexington and about 10 miles from an airport near Hazard, Sims said.

There was rain, thunder and light fog in the area for much of the afternoon, said Tom Johnstone, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Jackson.

The county coroner was at the scene Monday, and Sims said federal aviation investigators and officials from the state medical examiner's office probably would arrive Tuesday morning.

The crash occurred one day after Comair Flight 5191 crashed shortly after takeoff in Lexington, about 70 miles northwest of Jackson, killing 49 of 50 people aboard.
