Fatal Crash at Paine Field: Glasair Pilot Dies After Takeoff

A pilot died after a single-engine Glasair aircraft crashed into a wooded area near Paine Field Airport in Everett, Washington, on Thursday afternoon. The plane caught fire after departing the main runway, and the pilot was the sole occupant. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are investigating the incident, which marks the first fatal crash at the airport in six to eight years.

Black box data reveal odd landing sequence before Amazon cargo jet overran Miami runway, 5 dead

Black box data reveal odd landing sequence before Amazon cargo jet overran Miami runway, 5 dead

New data from the Amazon Air cargo jet’s flight recorders show an unusual touchdown sequence minutes before it overran the runway at Miami International Airport: the back-right and nose wheels touched down, a third wheel followed nine seconds later, brakes were released and throttles advanced to full takeoff power before returning to idle—suggesting the crew may have attempted to abort or circle for another approach. Five people in a van were killed as the aircraft struck a service road and other vehicles; investigators will interview the pilots and review the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder. No speed brakes or reversers were deployed, and the plane carried about 32,000 pounds of cargo, mostly contact lenses.

Five Die After Amazon Jet Overshoots Miami Runway, Cleaners' Van Hit

Five people were killed when an Amazon cargo Boeing 767 overshot the runway at Miami International Airport and struck a van used to shuttle plane-cleaning crews; two others were injured. The jet, from Puerto Rico, had been landing in stormy conditions, and investigators say the NTSB will examine runway safety and the jet’s approach. The five victims were inside the cleaning-van, and a separate cleanup company identified them; two runways were closed as authorities investigated while flight disruptions continued.

Small Plane Crashes into Beijing's China Zun Tower, Prompting Investigation

Small Plane Crashes into Beijing's China Zun Tower, Prompting Investigation

A light two-seat Sunward SA60L crashed into Beijing's CITIC Tower (China Zun) on June 26, killing the pilot and injuring 13 people on the ground. Authorities have released few details, including the pilot's identity, later reported as 66-year-old Liu who reportedly acted for personal reasons and deviated from approved airspace. Flight-tracking data reviewed by Reuters places the last contact at about 2,800 feet, roughly 1,000 feet above the tower, and suggests the plane could have reached the building within minutes; the crash occurred near a major air corridor and raised questions about low-altitude aviation in China as an investigation proceeds, including a noted near-miss with a Hainan Airlines flight.
