Default Family of 7 dies in Alabama C421 crash

Tragic beyond words... hard to know the cause at this point.

(CNN, 7/10) -- "A small plane went down short of an airport in rural Alabama, killing a couple and five of their children, authorities said. "It's going to take a long time (to investigate) since the wreckage is so deep in the woods," Nick Worrell of the National Transportation Safety Board said Sunday night. The NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration are looking into the deadly crash, which occurred Saturday evening near Demopolis, Alabama. According to preliminary information, the Cessna C421 was flying from St. Louis to Destin, Florida, when it lost its right engine, said the FAA's Kathleen Bergen. The plane was diverted to Demopolis Municipal Airport but crashed about two miles short of the runway, Bergen said. Seven people were on board the plane, according to Bergen. All seven died..."
