On Sunday, March 8th, at a parking lot at a retirement community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, a small plane crashed injuring the five people aboard and damaging around a dozen vehicles.

Scott Little, the chief of Manheim Township Fire in a CNN article stated, “The plane, a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza, crashed around 3:18 p.m. ET on the property of Brethren Village retirement community in Manheim Township” (Sottile, Dewberry, Mar. 13).

The five people who were aboard plane were transported to hospitals.

Stated by officials, in the crash about a dozen cars were damaged, but only five were severe. There was also no damage done to the retirement community and no-one on ground was injured.

In the same CNN article, Scott Little further explains that the scene captured on video shows the wreckage of the plane become engulfed in flames with dark smoke surrounding. The fire was then since put out using “copious amounts of water”.

The Federal Aviation Administration has set out to investigate the crash that has come after the midair collision in January, which killed all six passengers on board and one on the ground.

CNN also states, “The National Transportation Safety Board is also opening an investigation and will evaluate the documentation and initial examination gathered by FAA investigators at the crash site” (Sottile, Dewberry, Mar. 13).

The pilot reported stating the plan had an open door, in a radio call with an air traffic controller. The controller instructed for the pilot to “pull up” moment before the plane crashed.

The investigation of the case is still on going.
