Report Says Instructor, Student Fought for Controls Before East Hartford Plane Crash
A plane crash in East Hartford was the result of a flight student refusing to give up controls to his instructor, while apparently doing everything "backwards", a police report revealed.
East Hartford police Lt. Josh Litwin said in October that investigators had concluded the crash was "an intentional act," but noted that they hadn't been able to determine a motive.
New documents from witness accounts reveal that Arian Prevella, a flight instructor and the owner of American Flight Academy in Hartford, struggled with flying student, Feras Freitekh.
On Oct. 11, 2016, an investigation was launched after the twin-engine Piper PA 34 crashed with the two men aboard during a training flight around 3:30 p.m. near the Connecticut headquarters of military jet-engine maker Pratt & Whitney.
The plane was on its final approach to Brainard Airport when it crashed on Main Street and burst into flames, according to the FAA.
Prevalla escaped from the burning plane and was in fair condition at Yale-New Haven Bridgeport Hospital's burn, a hospital spokesman said.

FERAS FREITEKH of Jordan
Nothing to see here.
Move along....
Sounds like Sudden Jihad Syndrome is the crash cause,
still can’t figure a motive? These cases are so hard....
Another middle eastern nut case. Another incident which proves they don’t belong here.
Probably a convert to Christianity who wanted to hasten his way toward the Easter vigil.
Amish?
Freitekh...what other info is out about him? How long had he been here? What mosque did he attend?
Proof positive PC kills.
Even though they're looking with both hands and a flashlight.
Interesting!
Didn’t we learn not to give Muslims flying lessons back in 2001?!?
“FERAS FREITEKH of Jordan”
All you need to know about this story. Maybe he had a target in mind but the instructor prevented the plane from reaching its target.
AVIATION PING
Do you know anything of the current status of the instructor? I hope he is recovering.

Did he yell something about Allah? Seemed disinterested in how to land the plane, only how to make the plane take off?
Customary?
It's mandatory.
Feras Freitekh....
Hmmm what could it be? Hmmm?
MSM tries to conceal.
“...they hadn’t been able to determine a motive.”
They’ve got a real mystery on their hands.
