New York - QNA
Four people died Sunday after their small aircraft suddenly crashed while trying to make an emergency landing in Westchester County in the US State of New York. Keith Weiner, his wife, their 14-year-old daughter, and her friend also 14, were killed in the tragic accident, the (News York Post) reported. Their Cessna 210 plane turned back minutes after it took off from White Plains and was making a loop when it crashed, landing in a watershed, according to police sources and the Federal Aviation Administration. The plane went down short of Runway 16 and crashed in the wood near the hamlet of Armonk, FAA spokeswoman Holly Baker said. The six-seat, single-engine plane reported to a Westchester County airport control tower that it had to make an emergency landing just a minute after it took off. The plane crashed in a wooded area behind the MBIA Insurance office park. An office worker said he saw smoke coming out of the woods and called 911.
