∼Plane Crash Kills 5 Indiana Music Students
POSTED: 11:51 am EDT April 21, 2006
UPDATED: 12:13 am EDT April 22, 2006
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Officials confirmed on Friday afternoon that the five people who died in a plane crash were graduate students of the Indiana University School of Music.
A single-engine Cessna 206 plane en route from Lafayette, Ind., to Bloomington, Ind., went down in foggy conditions late Thursday night about 500 yards south of the runway at the Monroe County Airport.
One of the students, Georgina Joshi, was the pilot. The other dead students are: Chris Carducci, Garth Eppley, Zachary Novak and Robert Samels.
The five were returning to Bloomington from a community concert rehearsal in West Lafayette when the plane crashed.
Three of the five were voice students, and the other two were enrolled in a choral conducting program, Indiana University President Adam Herbert said.
Earlier, students could be seen consoling each other in front of the school's music administration building.
The plane crashed while trying to land in foggy weather. The single-engine Cessna disappeared from radar shortly before midnight.
The wreckage was found upside-down just south of the airport before dawn Friday, more than four hours after the plane disappeared.
People who live in the area and authorities searched for the plane through much of the night. It was found at about 4:15 a.m.
Terre Haute's Hulman Field monitors air traffic for the Monroe County Airport overnight. Officials said that the plane's pilot turned the runway lights on, but people began calling 911 to report a plane in distress and to report hearing a crash.
Bob Brummett said he heard the plane and the crash. He and his wife joined the search, along with emergency crews.
"I awoke to a loud throttle, where somebody was giving a lot of throttle to a plane -- just real loud and then, thump," Brummett said. "There was no smoke, no fire. That was one of the things that made it really hard."
Police said the plane was located in a woody area and was found thanks to an emergency locating device in the plane.
"The crews started the ground searches based on those calls and tried to track it down," said Van Buren Township Deputy Fire Chief Mike Cornman. "Due to the fog, we couldn't get helicopters in the air. The Civil Air Patrol was able to come in and ... pinpointed an area."
The plane hit the ground in one condensed area. Emergency crews used all-terrain vehicles to reach the crash site, which is on airport property.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are sending crews to the site of the crash, working to determine the exact cause of the crash.
