A man was killed and a teenager critically injured Saturday when the fuselage of an airplane they were working on crushed them outside the Warbird Museum in Titusville, according to police.
Michael B. McDonough, 76, of Titusville was killed in the incident, said Titusville police spokesman Warren Van Vuren.
The second person, a 15-year-old whose name has not been released, was flown to Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne in critical condition, Van Vuren told Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
The two were working on the uncompleted aircraft outside the Valiant Air Command's museum at Space Coast Regional Airport, according to Florida Today
"It was a new project and the wings had not yet been attached," Van Vuren said. "The gear or the struts holding up the fuselage became unstable and crushed the two."
Very sad news indeed for many of us in this area. He was loved by many and spent many years of joy working on these wonderful old war birds...
