IT IS SPRING TIME AND SMALL PLANES AND ULTRALIGHT PLANES ARE COMING CRASHING DOWN: 4 DEAD IN A PIPER PA-31 SMALL PLANE FIERY CRASH NEAR FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA







APRIL 12, 2015
FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

This past weekend has been particularly deadly as numerous small planes and ultralight planes have crashed around the world.
 
Four people have died after a plane crashed in Florida near the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Sunday afternoon, according to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue.
The Federal Aviation Administration said the Piper PA-31 aircraft had taken off from Orlando Executive Airport and was attempting to land at the airport in the 2200 block of West Cypress Creek Road around 4:30 p.m. when it experienced problems. It was unclear what kind of problems the pilot had.
Witnesses saw the plane coming in for a landing and said they knew something was wrong.
"It sounded low, it looked low," Bobby Bemis said. "It nosedived right into the floor. It sounded like a semi truck hit a wall, it was so loud."
"It was a large aftermath and loud explosion, a big fireball," Bavon Sylvain said. "From what we saw, with the fireball, you could tell immediately that whoever was on that plane unfortunately passed away."
Fort Lauderdale Police confirmed that the four people on-board died in the crash.
Rescue crews responding to the scene said the plane crashed in a wooded area, and responders had difficulty arriving to the scene.
The FAA released a statement, saying in part, "A Piper PA-31 aircraft that was inbound to Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport crashed into a nature preserve near the airport at 4:30 pm after declaring an emergency. Four persons were on board. Check with local authorities who will release their names and conditions. The airport is open, but Runway 13 is closed due to it's proximity to the accident site."
The NTSB is investigating the crash.
