The National Transportation Safety Board is looking at heavy fog as one possible factor in Monday s crash of a single engine plane near Centennial Airport. He was the only person on board. The wreckage of the single engine turboprop was spread out over half a mile in a field.
Witnesses say the plane burst into flames when it hit the ground.
It took rescue crews a while to find the plane, due to heavy fog in the area. We've got a debris field that goes for over half a mile. On impact where the wings were sheared off, those did catch fire. However, the passenger compartment of the aircraft is intact, explained South Metro Fire Chief Robert Rinne. The plane was bound for Santa Monica, California.
