THE six people who died in January when the pilot of their plane lost control of the aircraft had zero chance of survival, according to the Air Accident Investigation Department’s report of the crash.
The accident, which killed three men, two women and a ten-year-old girl, “was not survivable due to the high speed, high angle contact (with the ocean) and magnitude of the deceleration forces,” the report said. “All indications were that the aircraft made contact with the ocean straight in (at approximately 180 degrees, nose, propeller and engines first, as evidenced from propeller and airframe signature marks) before cartwheeling several times prior to stopping.”
