Distress call from pilot to ATC reports an ‘open door’ on the aircraft

A distress call from the pilot to air traffic control details an ‘open door’, resulting in the plane immediately heading back to Lancaster Airport. Manheim Township Police Chief Duane Fisher spoke to Philadelphia’s WCAU-TV shortly after the crash on Sunday:

‘I would say from our initial look, it appears that it may have skidded approximately 100 feet after it made contact with the ground’.

Three of the five injured taken to Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Burns Unit

All five passengers were sent to Lancaster General Hospital promptly in the aftermath of the crash. Three of the five passengers injured were then sent to a burn centre for treatment of their injuries.

The Federal Aviation Administration reports no injuries on the ground, but videos show smoke and burned out cars. No buildings were damaged in the crash.

The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating the cause of the crash. This is the latest crash in a string of aviation plane crashes in the United States this year. An investigation can take 12 to 24 months to be completed.
