US: Another Deadly Plane Crash in New York Fuels Air Travel Concerns | Firstpost America | N18G
A private plane crashed in upstate New York over the weekend, killing all six passengers on board. The victims included a family of physicians and distinguished student-athletes, who were on a trip to the Catskill mountains to celebrate a birthday and the Jewish holiday of Passover. A video of the final seconds showed the aircraft still intact just before crashing at a high rate of descent into the ground. The crash is the latest in the series of air disasters that have put the American aviation industry under the radar. The United States has seen about a dozen plane crashes this year resulting in deaths, injuries or close calls. Last week, a helicopter broke apart in mid-air and crashed into the Hudson River, killing the pilot and a family of five Spanish tourists.
