    What: Texland Great Plains Water LLC./RJ Schumacher Oil ‘s Beechcraft King Air twin-engine airplane en route from Okalahoma City to Fort Worth’s Meacham International Airport
    Where: north of Fort Worth in Wise County
    When: Tuesday October 6 2009
    Who: 4 injured
    Why: When the pilot told Air Traffic Control that both engines had failed, the plane disappeared from radar, six miles from Kenneth Copeland Airport. The wreckage was found in a field near County Road 4227 and Currie Road.

    The plane lost a wing and sustained nose damage.

    The two severely injured passengers were airlifted to John Peter Smith Hospital and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital.

    George’s Point of View

    Odds are against a twin engine plane losing both its engines at one time. The pilot here must have done some kind of fancy flying (by fancy I mean seriously good flying by the seat of his pants) to have gotten everyone out of this (so far) alive. We hope the two severely injured men in the hospital recover completely (and the other two men as well.)
