Update:
Plane crashes near Fort Lauderdale's Executive Airport
By Jamie Malernee of sun-sentinel.com
FORT LAUDERDALE – An airplane crashed-landed in the middle of a street a residential area near Executive Airport Monday afternoon. It was not immediately known if anyone was hurt but a resident in the area said all three aboard escaped with minor injuries.
The plane crashed on the 1700 block of Northeast 56 Street around 3:50 p.m. just after takeoff from Executive, news partner NBC 6 reported.
The DC-3 twin-engine propeller cargo plane crashed in a residential area and firefighters were working to bring a fire under control.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane went down shortly after takeoff at 3:48 p.m. near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. The plane is registered to John W. Andrews of Wichita Falls, Texas, and was bound for Marsh Harbor, Bahamas, she said.
The aircraft crashed among several homes and buildings in the middle of a tree-lined street about three miles east of the airport.
Television stations were reporting the pilot and at least one other person escaped both the crash and the fire that followed an emergency landing in a street.
And a neighbor said there were three people in the plane and all made it out with minor bumps and bruises. All were sent to area hospitals for checkups.
The neighbor said the plane made an emergency crash landing in the middle of the street. The aircraft hit no buildings but did strike a tree and possibly a tree before exploding in flame. The three people aboard escaped before the flames spread.
``As much as possible it landed on a roadway,'' said David Rafter, the spokesman for Oakland Park Fire Rescue. ``I don't know if it caused incidental damage to structure (on the ground).''
``It's a cargo flight, a DC-3,'' confirmed Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Greg Martin.
Martin said the aircraft went down about three miles east of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport shortly after departing.
Televised pictures showed firefighters putting out the fire with water and foam in a roadway in tree-lined, residential area, the burned out cockpit and cabin near several parked cars.
apparently, women and minorities were hardest hit...
From the pictures - I'm shocked all got out.
I,m just north of the crash and was listening to 850am radio the host said there was a huge ball of fire outside the studio window in her view. A few streets away from where she was broadcasting.
According to the article on MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8206866/
The tail number of the plane is N3906J, which is registered to John W. Andrews of Wichita, Texas. The DC-3 was reportedly en route to Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas.
I heard - I'm checking to see if one of our buddies was flying.
Sigh.
I am alittle upset about that. even more so now since jacko is walking!
I'm upset too....but not surprised. Too many liars and criminals on either side. Jackson will be charged again...he'll do it to another kid.
Ohhhhhh...........so THAT'S what those are called.......;)
It looks like a big Tylenol with wings.
I agree. Incredible!
