Residents within the Plainville Neighbohood reported hearing something awkward as the plane flew over their homes. One witness, Mike Brown, told The Sun Chronicle that he was outside barbecuing when he heard the plane.
Mike said he looked up and saw the plane begin to bank.
He said: “the engine sounded like it was sputtering and then heard a crash and saw smoke.”
