New Crash - Cirrus Down

[garf12]

Another plane down today but appears to be better news. Appears to be a cirrus in a lake with a chute out.

Fox is thinking the chute is a rescue device. They dont think a plane of this size would be capable of carying that, ha

also this plane doesnt have the instruments to fly in the clouds like the bigger planes have. - source Fox News.

It's better equipped than the jets I fly.

Fox News also said runways are difficult to see when you're on the ground.

I heard a quick mention of it on CNN. Sounds like everyone survived? Listening to the media talk about aviation is exceedingly painful!

It happened on the west side of Indianapolis, they think it departed from Eagle Creek (EYE). News said all 4 pax had survived and were at area hospitals.

When I was watching the coverage the headline at the bottom said 5 pax...but when the anchor was talking she said 4....LOL.

Glad all four are ok though!

Apparently not of his injuries. Looks like the pilot's family deployed the CAPS parachute when the pilot had what appeared to be an eventually fatal stroke.
