On Monday morning a small plane crashed into a home in a Maryland suburb, killing six people. Three of the victims were residents of the home, a mother and her two young boys. Three others were killed aboard the plane, but their identities have not been released to the public yet. The cause of this accident is unclear, but the plane's "blackbox", that contains voice recordings of the cockpit and flight data information, has been recovered from the wreckage and has been sent to Washington D.C. There the investigators will try to uncover more information on how the accident was caused.

Once they are able to read the information on the black box, they should be able to figure out why the plane when down. Its horrifying to know how random tragedies like this can be.
ReplyDeleteAccidents like these are one in a million. Even then, when we hear bout it, it's easy for the fear to reenter our hearts.
ReplyDeleteThis is not something that you hear often in the news which is good, but sad that it is something that can happen. Our technology for planes have gotten a lot better since 9/11 and we have learned a lot from it.
