WASHINGTON:
Seven people have been killed in a World War II-era plane crash in the US state of Connecticut. Boeing V-17s were sent by the US Air Force to bomb Germany and Japan in World War II. With only 18 aircraft still in the United States, Collings Foundation-owned V-17, which operates antique aircraft, left the country at 10:45 am on Wednesday with 10 passengers and 3 crew members.
In this case, a technical fault occurred just minutes after the flight took off. Pilots who are constantly in contact with the control room should immediately be allowed to land at Bradley International Airport, Airport Authority Director Kevin said. But when it touched the ground, it lost control and exploded. According to local media reports, seven people were killed in the crash and nine others, including three people, were injured. Also, one firefighter suffered a minor injury. Officials said there were no children on the plane.
No confirmed information on the cause of the crash is available. The Connecticut senator has called for a warning to those who use antique planes that they should avoid flying on such flights. The Bradley International Airport, which is always busy, was shut down for about three and a half hours due to the accident. The single tile was later reopened for air service. Governor Lemond condolences to the families of the deceased
