What Happened During the Accident
According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the plane was a "Beechcraft King Air 300" model. The plane took off from Albuquerque on Tuesday and was scheduled to land in Chinle to pick up a patient. However, before landing, the plane suddenly caught fire and crashed in mid-air. According to eyewitnesses, the plane fell burning in the air and was completely reduced to ashes.
Who Was on Board the Plane
There were two pilots and two healthcare workers on board the plane. All four died on the spot after the accident. The medical flight was on an emergency rescue mission and was going to bring a seriously ill patient to Chinle. Unfortunately, no one survived, and no one could be rescued.
Confirmation of the Accident and Statement
Navajo Police Department Commander Emmet Yazzie told the media that the plane developed a technical fault just as it reached Chinle, before landing. He said that the pilot tried to land the plane safely, but the plane crashed immediately due to the fire. The entire incident happened around 12:44 pm.
Cause of Accident Not Yet Known
The plane crash is now being investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). So far, no clear reason has been revealed as to how the fire started and why the plane crashed. Investigation officers are closely examining the wreckage of the plane. According to initial reports, it is possible that a sudden technical fault in the engine may have caused the accident.
Similar Accidents Have Happened Before
This is not the first time that a medical transport plane has crashed in the United States. Earlier, in January 2025, a similar plane crash occurred in Philadelphia, in which 8 people died. At that time too, the plane's voice recorder was defective, and the real cause of that accident has not been revealed to date.
