Plane Crash in NSW

Comment:

Poor little girl, but doesn't Australian Aviation requires an age limit to fly the plane?

Plane accident or crash happens, especially when:

1- Plane is prone to bad weather (e.g. rain, lightning, mist, fog, etc.).
2- Plane is prone to bad engine problem.
3- Plane is fly at its worst, when fly by an amateur, or an unhealthy person.
4- Even a bird, or clip by a tree can result in catastrophe.

A 13-year-old girl and her 42-year-old father are fighting for their lives in hospital after a light aircraft crash that killed FOUR other people in northern NSW. The single engine Cessna crashed about 900 metres north of Moree Airport about 8pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, police said. It had taken off from Brewarrina, in the state's north, and crashed on approach to the Moree airfield, narrowly missing a caravan park and ending up on its roof. The bodies of a 77-year-old man, his 77-year-old wife, and another woman, who is yet to be formally identified, were found in the wreckage. The body of the male pilot, who has also not yet been formally identified, was also found, police said. They did not specify if he was found in or near the wreckage. The 13-year-old girl is in critical condition in Brisbane's Mater Hospital while her father is in critical injuries in Tamworth Hospital. "It looks like it's come in on the final approach to the airport and looks like, for whatever reason, it's just fallen out of the sky," Moree resident Lex Baguley told AAP. He said there was no sign of fire on or around the aircraft. Another witness told Brisbane's Courier-Mail newspaper it looked as though the aircraft had clipped a tree. "It looks like they've clipped a tree because there's a tree broken and bent nearby," she said. .
