By LAURA WIDES-MUNOZ, Associated Press Writer 16 minutes ago
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - The deadly crash off a seaplane shortly after takeoff was apparently caused by the right wing breaking off the fuselage, investigators said Tuesday. It was unclear why the wing detached during flight. Salvage crews raised the right wing out of the channel where the plane crashed Monday within sight of horrified beachgoers. All 20 people on board were killed. Mark Rosenker, acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board, told reporters about the wing separation late Tuesday. "Unfortunately, we have a way to go until we find a cause of this accident," he said. Salvage crews pulled the wing from the water with its propeller and engine still attached, but Rosenker declined to provide details about the wing's condition. The rest of the plane won't be raised until Wednesday, Coast Guard spokesman Dana Warr said. The wing of a seaplane that crashed off Miami Beach, Fla., is lifted by a crane on a barge from the waters of the crash site Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2005. The crash on Monday killed all 20 people on board. The rest won't be raised until Wednesday, Coast Guard spokesman Dana Warr said. Rosenker called it a delicate operation because moving the plane too quickly could cause it to break under the weight of the water. |
