They set out to do good. There was no way it would cost him his life. A plane carrying relief supplies for hurricane victims in Jamaica crashes in Florida. At least two people died.
Coral Springs police said two people “tragically died” in the crash. It is still unclear how many people were on board the plane. His body has not been found.
The Beechcraft King Air twin-engine turboprop aircraft is on its way to Jamaica. He was loading relief supplies for victims of Hurricane Melissa, a Fort Lauderdale airport spokesman said. Apparently he was having technical problems. However, the pilot apparently deliberately aimed the plane at an artificial lake while flying over a residential area outside Fort Lauderdale. According to CBS News, the plane hit several treetops in various residents’ gardens before falling into the lake.
The Coral Springs Fire Department confirmed the crash but has not released any further details. “Our police are on scene with divers and will begin recovery operations immediately,” said Coral Springs Deputy Fire Chief Mike Moser. “We haven’t found the entire plane,” he said. “Therefore we assume that it broke into smaller pieces. Of course, we don’t know for sure yet. It’s all still very vague.”
An airplane wheel lay beside the pool
According to Moser, the accident left quite a large area of debris. Coral Springs police are asking residents who find pieces of the plane in their yards to contact them immediately. Aerial footage from NBC Miami TV showed one of the plane’s wheels next to a small swimming pool in the park. “Fortunately, the plane did not hit any homes when it fell into the water,” firefighter Moser said.
Motorists are asked to avoid the scene as emergency services will clear and secure the area. In a statement, police said the investigation was ongoing but there were “unknown” victims.
