The National Transportation Safety Board has sent in a seven-member team of investigators to the site of Friday night’s crash near Stagecoach.
"How do we know if the airplane broke up in flight? We found parts of the airplane one-half to three-quarters of a mile away" from the crash scene, NTSB Vice Chair Bruce Landsberg said at a news briefing in Carson City.
Visibility was under two miles with a cloud ceiling about 2,000 feet above ground when the flight left Reno for Salt Lake City, Utah, and went down, according to the weather service. "I knew the plane was in trouble," Hays told the Reno Gazette Journal. "I knew it was going to crash. I was just hoping it wasn’t going to crash into my house."Misty Gruenemay told the newspaper that the wind was howling and the snow blowing hard when she heard what sounded like a whiz and a thump behind her house in Stagecoach. The rural community is home to around 2,500 residents and located about 45 miles southeast of Reno.
