Three Wichitans killed in Mississippi plane crash
A National Transportation Safety Board team was in Hattiesburg, Miss on Thursday, examining the site of an airplane crash that killed four people, including three Wichitans. The NTSB will be on-scene the next several days, said Alex Lemishko, a NTSB senior air safety investigator, during a news conference Thursday. We will be examining the machines, the environment, the pilot those sorts of things. It s very preliminary to speculate as to the cause right now and the investigation; as far as the NTSB is concerned, there will be a preliminary report published within 15 days, Lemishko said.
