Accident in LFSN Nancy-Essay

Post by NDCDA62 »

Whilst no details, thankfully Pilot and passenger walked away.

No fire, doors open and it just demonstrates how safe you are within the monocoque structure. Well done Diamond Aircraft 🙏🙏

Media Report

A spectacular accident, luckily not serious, occurred this Thursday, September 21 when a twin-engine plane crashed shortly before 11 a.m. on the agricultural plot of a farmer in the town of Seichamps. In its passage, the small plane tore down around fifty meters of fence and narrowly avoided a herd of cows which were in the field. Alerted, the firefighters quickly intervened with a rescue and victim assistance vehicle to help the victims.

Despite the violence of the landing, the 57-year-old pilot and his 51-year-old passenger, of German nationality, were able to escape the plane alone. In a state of shock, they were then treated and transported to the emergency room of Nancy central hospital.

According to initial information, the pilot had refueled with kerosene at the Nancy-Essey aerodrome to continue the journey to Bonn in Germany when he encountered a mechanical problem with his aircraft.

Thursday in the middle of the afternoon, investigators from the police and the Bureau of Investigation and Analysis (BEA) for civil aviation safety carried out the findings under the disappointed eyes of the farmer who owned the plot which had to move its animals.

Interesting. Right after a fuel stop? That seems suspicious. Fuel contamination?

That was my first thought and I hope they release fuel analysis soon.
