Hey there, folks! đŠď¸ Guess what? Federal authorities are putting on their detective hats and investigating the wild crash of a twin-engine cargo plane near a teeny tiny airport in good olâ central Maine. And guess what else? It didnât end well for the brave souls on board â both got their tickets punched. Yep, that Beechcraft decided to test its field-landing skills in the town of Litchfield at the totally-not-chill time of 5:45 p.m. on a Tuesday. Seriously, didnât it know thatâs like the prime time for Netflix and snacks?
Now, picture this: a plane going âbye-byeâ under âunknown circumstances,â which basically means no one knows if it was because of a bird who was tired of airplane shenanigans or if the plane just wanted to take a scenic nosedive. The FAA was all, âYo, National Transportation Safety Board, this oneâs yours!â And now weâve got the NTSB scratching their heads and asking, âWhat on earth happened here?â
The crash site was like, half a mile away from Wales Airport, and Sarah Taylor Sulick â a spokesperson with a name that sounds way fancier than mine â was like, âHey, the investigatorâs gonna do the whole âCSIâ thing â you know, document stuff, gather statements, and maybe even find some security footage of the plane doing its aerial gymnastics.â đľď¸ââď¸
Wreckage from the impromptu plane acrobatics will be scooped up and taken somewhere else for a good olâ analysis session. Taylor Sulick was all, âHang tight, yâall, we might have some preliminary report action in, like, two to three weeks. So donât go holding your breath.â
Turns out, this plane had taken off from a nearby airport, like a rebellious teenager sneaking out past curfew. It was owned by Wiggins Airways of Manchester, New Hampshire, which I assume has absolutely nothing to do with Wiggins from that one Harry Potter book â no owls delivering letters here. đŚ
Oh, and letâs not forget about Wiggins Airwaysâ mission â theyâre all about the cargo life. Theyâre like the FedEx and UPS of the sky, delivering packages faster than you can say âAmazon Prime.â No word from their side of the runway on the whole crash thing, though. Not even a âWhoops, lost another one!â
But wait, thereâs more! The local authorities are also getting in on the action â Kennebec County Sheriffâs Office and the Maine State Police are flexing their investigation muscles. Sheriff Ken Mason even took to Facebook (because where else would you post updates on airplane crashes?) to let everyone know that theyâre on it. And guess what? The scene is apparently so huge that itâs gonna take a couple of days to wrap it all up. So if youâre in the area, be a doll and donât dial 911 for your misplaced sock emergency, okay?
And in all seriousness, letâs take a moment to think about the families of those two souls who took an unexpected trip to the great beyond. Itâs moments like these that remind us life is short and full of surprises â even if theyâre the kind you never signed up for. âď¸đ Hey there, folks! đŠď¸ Guess what?
