Report describes how pilot Victor Dotsenko of King Township, Ont., told a Nashville International Airport controller his engine had shut down and he didn’t know where he was going to land
A preliminary report from U.S. authorities into a plane crash in Tennessee that killed five Canadians says one witness heard “sputtering” and “popping” sounds from the plane’s engine as it flew overhead before crashing alongside a highway west of downtown Nashville.
The controller cleared Dotsenko to land the plane carrying his wife and three children on a runway, but the pilot, in his last message to the controller, said he was too far away to make it.
