It was a cold autumn morning and this exact model twin propellor plane was flying to New Jersey. This was one of only 99 built. The most interesting fact, though, is that the NTSB conducted a study of 477 planes including this model and found that it had the second highest engine failure and crash rate among twin prop planes at the time.

As for this plane…There are several factors that led to what happened next - most being weather related. Let’s go inside the cabin to get a better idea. This is the same cabin that we’ll see later when we get to the plane, so remember what this looks like. There were two pilots and four passengers on board. At some point within 100 miles of the origin point, traveling at around 10,000 feet, the pilots encountered some trouble.

If we look at the official crash report we get a pretty clear picture of what happened. The type of accident is listed as engine failure or malfunction, with probably causes listed as:

Pilot error - either by inadequate preflight preparation or improper operation of the plane

Weather conditions - it was reported that the de-icing equipment either malfunctioned or was used improperly. This may have cause the carburetor to freeze, which supplies fuel to the engines

This likely led to partial power loss of one engine, and then complete flameout, meaning no fuel in the engine. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, the crew attempted an emergency landing with one engine when the aircraft stalled and crashed in the swamp. One passenger was killed while five other occupants were injured.

So what’s going to happen to this plane now? It will most likely stay here, as it has been for the past few decades. This wreck is too far into the woods to be recovered, and at this point there’s no benefit to removing it. The plane is a part of the forest now, and I hope it stays that way.
