Audio from air traffic control that has just emerged reveals a pilot's last words before his small plane crashed in Kuttawa, Kentucky, killing everyone on board except a 7-year-old girl.
The young, lone survivor -- Sailor Gutzler -- trekked nearly a mile through dense woods to get help, but her parents, sister and cousin didn't survive the Jan. 2 crash, police said.
ABC News has obtained audio of the last moments before the crash, in which Sailor’s father, Marty Gutzler, 48, is heard telling air traffic control the plane was having engine troubles.
"I have got problems," Gutzler can be heard saying, "I need to go to the nearest VFR airport. The engines are not producing power. I don’t know what’s up."

Poor kid. I can’t even imagine surviving all of that. Prayers Up.
Why the F would ABC play the audio? Leave the family alone. Must be a slow news day for the obama whores.
Poor child. I can’t imagine the ache in her heart.
Bump! Not wishing those media whores any bad luck but how would they like to be on the receiving end of mental and emotional abuse like that?
I agree. I see no news value in listening to the fear and terror that someone is going through right before they die in an accident. This is the worst of yellow journalism.
NBC’s Brian Williams was on that flight...
Hard IFR, power loss to both normally aspired engines, fuel remaining, temp/dew point convergence. Carb ice?
That’s what I’m thinking..
