dagger Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 https://globalnews.ca/news/6228838/7-dead-2-children-kingston-plane-crash/ Kingston police have confirmed that seven people are dead, including two minors, after a small aircraft crashed in Kingston. Police were made aware of a missing airplane around 5 p.m. on Wednesday, which prompted a search of a wooded area in Kingston’s west end. The downed plane was eventually located Wednesday evening in a wooded area north of Creekford Road and two kilometres west of Bayridge Drive. From the description given by police, this is the rough area where the plane went down in Kingston on Thursday evening. Google Maps Police originally would not release the number of deceased, but on Thursday a police source confirmed that the plane was carrying seven people, all of whom died. Strong winds and heavy rain were reported at the time the plane went down, but it is not clear if weather was a factor in the crash. Environment Canada was calling for wind gusts up to 90 km/h an hour on Wednesday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st27 Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 JL....are you referring to carb icing?? It might support witnesses on the ground that reported (fwiw) that there was an engine sound and then quiet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thor Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 So, exactly how many seats in a Cherokee 6? I just read that there are some with 7 seat configurations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The conditions were conducive for carb icing that could have resulted in a reduction in power. Carb ice would not directly cause the aircraft to crash but may have been one event leading up to the terrible outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st27 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Not a good week for general aviation: Quote Nine people are dead, including two children and the pilot, authorities say, after a plane crashed near Chamberlain, S.D., near the center of the state. Three others were injured. Twelve people were aboard the Pilatus PC-12 when it crashed shortly after takeoff Saturday afternoon en route from Chamberlain to Idaho Falls, Idaho, National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Peter Knudson told NPR. https://www.npr.org/2019/12/01/783916827/9-killed-3-injured-in-south-dakota-plane-crash-officials-say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
