Two people were found dead on the morning of January 21, 2010 in the wreckage of a plane that had gone missing earlier in the week. A Sheriff’s helicopter found the twin-engine Cessna 240 plane in the San Bernardino County foothills shortly after midnight with the bodies of the pilot and lone passenger inside.
The wreckage was about five miles away from Rialto Municipal Airport. The plane may have crashed on Monday after taking off from Henderson, Nevada en route to Compton. The weather was stormy during the time of the crash, but it is unclear if weather conditions played a significant role in the accident.
Plane accidents, like this one, can leave the families of victims devastated, both emotionally and financially. Families of victims deserve to know the cause of the crash and should receive just compensation for wrongful death if the manufacturer of the plane or parts was at fault. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their planes and mechanical parts are effective and free of damage. Hiring an experienced trial attorney who can investigate private plane crashes may be helpful in recovering the compensation victims deserve.
