Small Plane Crashed in Marion County; Pilot Killed

A single engine plane crashed in the middle of a corn field on Bluff Road in Marion County, South Carolina just after 1:30 p.m. on June 13.

One person, identified as John Milton Sherbert, 55, of Florence was killed at the scene. His body has been sent to Charleston for an autopsy.

The Manager of Marion County Airport said that the plane remained in the air for about 15 minutes before it crashed at a distance of about 1 mile from the airport.

The authorities also said that the victim’s wife was one of the three witnesses of the deadly crash; she was waiting for her husband at the airport.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration arrived at the scene to investigate the cause of the crash.

    Yemenia Air Airbus Crashes, 154 missing in Indian Ocean

    Contact photographer Iam Lim
    What: Yemenia Air Airbus 310 flight 626 en route from Yemen’s capital Sanaa to Moroni
    Where: Indian Ocean near the Comoros archipelago
    When: Monday June 29, 2009
    Who: 142 passengers, 11 crew.
    Why: The exact location of the crash was unknown, but investigators began looking five to 10 kilometres from the coast along the “landing approach.” Rough weather is hampering the search.

    An unidentified boat found the plane which did go down in the Indian Ocean, so close to the coast that villagers saw the crash occur. Wreckage was found about six minutes from the airport where it was due to land. (The nationality of the boat is not known; apparently Comoros does not have the resources.)

    And a ship has already found the wreckage.
