What did they say to witnesses?
Witnesses said the plane landed at the end of the track and then hit another stationary level. The plane that tried to land aroused fire, but the pilot and three passengers were able to leave safely as soon as the plane stopped, Hagen said.
Ron Danielson, a manager of a nearby inn, said he saw and heard before the sky was filled with thick black smoke.
“It sounded as if you were to keep your head in a bass drum, and someone hit her as hard as they could,” he added.
According to the National Transport Safety Council, the flight left from Pullman in Washington.
FAA records show that the aircraft, produced in 2011, is registered for Meter Sky LLC based in Pullman.
Jeff Guzetti, an aviation safety advisor and a former FAA and NTSB accident investigator, noted that accidents concerning aircraft that collide with parked aircraft occur several times a year in the general air sector.
