NTSB attributes fatal plane crash to pilot's spatial disorientation.
TL;DR
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has concluded that pilot error was the cause of the May 2021 plane crash that killed Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin, her actor husband Joe Lara, and five others in Tennessee. The investigation ruled out mechanical problems, drugs, and alcohol. The pilot, Lara, may have experienced spatial disorientation and did not effectively use his instrumentation during takeoff and climb, according to the NTSB report. Lara was a certified pilot but struggled with instrument-only flights.
