There were no survivors. The accident happened at around 9.30 a.m. local time when a Gulfstream IV was taking off from Roswell International Air Center near the city of Roswell, which is infamous for the alleged recovery of a UFO in 1947. The crew was carrying out a test flight of the aircraft. According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) spokesman Lynn Lunsford, the aircraft was briefly airborne before it slammed into the ground, collapsing the plane's landing gear and bursting into flames. Lunsford said a total of four people were on board the aircraft, which can carry between 14 and 21 people depending on its configuration. "All four are confirmed fatalities," he said. Their identities were not immediately known. Both the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the cause of the accident. -- © BNO News All rights reserved 2011-04-03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
