Turned on the TV this morning and caught breaking news of Embraer 100
crash near (1 mile north) of KMHT. The pilot walked out of the wreckage moments before it exploded. Local news reported that the plane took off and immediately requested an emergency landing. Witnesses report one engine was out. One fellow (claiming some knowledge about aircraft) said he noted that one prop was not spinning, and he said it sounded like he was full throttle at that point. He also said the plane was one wing low on a 45 degree angle. The plane crashed at 7:20am, five minutes after declaring the emergency. Winds were reported calm at the time, but were NW yesterday and are NW now. I'm guessing (?) he took off from RWY 35, and was attempting to return to RWY 17. One witness hypothesized that the pilot may have attempted to set down in the Walmart parking lot where he crashed. http://portsmouthherald.com/news/spe...1_8special.htm Mike |
