You just gotta love the press...
This is from the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
This is from the St. Louis Post Dispatch:
Thoughts and prayers go out to the passenger, crew and their families...An American Airlines Connection flight from St. Louis carrying 12 people to Kirksville, Mo., crashed near its destination about 7:30 Tuesday night, the second time in a week a jet
Early reports indicated five of the twelve people on board the plane died, according to Elizabeth Isham Cory of the Federal Aviation Administration. There were 13 passengers and two crew members on the plane. (Since when does 13 + 2 = 12???)
The flight, which she said left St. Louis at 6:42 p.m., was scheduled to land shortly after 7:30 in Kirksville. The last contact with the plane was at 7:33 p.m., she said, and there was no sign of trouble.
The plane crashed about 4 miles south of the airport there, she said.
The plane, a Jetstream 31 twin engine , was American Airlines Connectionflight 5966 operated by Corporate Airlines.
On Thursday, a 50-seat jet crashed into a residential neighborhood near Jefferson City. The pilot and co-pilot were killed. No one else was on the plane and no one on the ground was injured. The cause of that crash is under investigation.
