The chief investigator with the Aircraft Accident Investigation Authority (AAIA), Kendall I. Dorsett Jr. Tuesday said that they are still gathering data regarding last Friday’s plane crash that claimed the lives of all 10 people on board.
‘It is very, it is very, too much early in the investigation. You’re looking at just four days after the accident. So the only thing that we have done, we call this the on-scene gathering of information phase.
‘And so basically we are just gathering data at this time. Like I said in the beginning, at this time, we cannot provide any findings, conclusion, analysis of probable cause. That’s at the end of the process, we are able to present that within the 12 month time,’ Dorsett told a news briefing.
Police had earlier said that preliminary investigations had so far revealed that the Cessna Flamingo Air aircraft with registration number C6-FLX had crashed in the pine yard near North Andros Airport.
They said that a 24-year-old person, who had survived the crash and found with ‘extensive burns covering his body’ had ‘regrettably…succumbed to his injuries’.
