Hearing scheduled for Jefferson City plane crash
Tuesday, May 24, 2005
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Federal investigators have scheduled a three-day public hearing, beginning June 13, into last year's fatal crash of a commercial plane in a residential area of Missouri's capital. The National Transportation Safety Board said it expects witnesses from the plane's manufacturer and operator, as well as from the Federal Aviation Administration at the hearing in Washington, D.C. The Pinnacle Airlines jet, affiliated with Northwest Airlines, had been flying at its maximum altitude shortly before its engines failed and it crashed Oct. 14 while on a repositioning flight from Little Rock, Ark., to Minneapolis. The pilot and co-pilot were killed, but no one else was on board and no one was hurt on the ground.
