A tragic plane crash in Upstate New York claimed the lives of six family members, including distinguished athletes and physicians, during a birthday trip. The Mitsubishi MU-2B aircraft went down shortly after the pilot requested a new approach plan from air traffic control. Despite attempts to warn the pilot of a low altitude, all communications ceased. Investigators have noted that the aircraft appeared intact during the final seconds of flight. Victims included a recent MIT soccer champion and her family, prompting widespread grief.
"The world lost a lot of very good people who were going to do a lot of good for the world if they had the opportunity. We're all personally devastated."
"The aircraft was intact and crashed at a high rate of descent into the ground."
"Before the crash, the pilot had radioed air traffic control... requested a new approach plan."
"Cherished family members and distinguished students are among the six victims of the tragic plane crash in Upstate New York."
