[TheForge] OT - sometimes stuff just happens

[terry l. ridder]

hello ron;

the plane was purchased from the original builder in minnesota.
i do not know which of the two people onboard actually owned the plane.
the plane was a seawind 3000. there was no flight recorder and no black
box in the plane. the plane was built to composite material and had full
fuel onboard when it crashed. the plane was totally consumed by the
fire. no one is sure who was piloting the plane when it crashed. both
people onboard when it crashed have 3rd degree burns over 60 percent
of their body. the last i had heard was that they were both in coma.

the plane took off from an airport with no air traffic control tower, no
flight plan was logged.

the ntsb has very little if anything to go on.

the eye witness reports are typical eye witness reports. unreliable.
