BREAKING Plane propeller crashed into Bucks County home, victim identified
The view from Chopper 6 showed smoke rising from the downed aircraft in a residential area of Hilltown Township.
NTSB investigator Robert Gretz said this was a commercial instructional flight, meaning one of the pilots already had a private pilot license but was training to receive their commercial pilot license.According to the Federal Aviation Administration , the plane departed from Doylestown Airport and was en route to Gunden Airport in Perkasie.
The single-engine aircraft went down right near Pennridge Central Middle School at the intersection of Brittany and Victoria lanes."Looked out the door and saw everything was in flames," said Thomas, who ran up from his basement."I just feel really bad for the two lost lives."A propeller sliced through Brian Rush's upstairs bedroom.Rush's granddaughter usually spends the afternoon there with his wife, napping in a crib.
Brian's granddaughter usually spends the afternoon in the bedroom. The crib is where she naps, but she wasn't there at the time."Luckily, they weren't here yesterday. They normally are," Rush said."They were up at my daughter's house instead."The wreckage will be moved to a hangar for further investigation.
"Really we are looking at the pilot, the machine, and the environment, and with the machine we want to make sure obviously the entire airplane is here and that there's nothing missing. We'll just go through, document the airframe, document the engine- really look for any anomalies," Gretz explained.
