Initial report out after fatal Chinle plane crash
Initial investigations indicate that a medical plane crashed while approaching Chinle Airport from Albuquerque, resulting in the tragic deaths of all four crew members on board. A recent report from the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that the plane was very close to runway 36 during the incident. The aircraft was being flown by a pilot, co-pilot, and two medical crew members. A cockpit voice recorder was found and has been sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory for analysis. Eyewitnesses described seeing the plane's left wing dip multiple times during landing before the aircraft eventually crashed and caught fire upon impact. The airplane has been retrieved and moved to a secure facility for further examination, though it sustained damage to the wings and fuselage due to the fire.
