A pilot is lucky to be alive after he crashed his Cessna 172 airplane into a vacant house on Monday. The man, who was in training, suffered only a broken leg. The single-engined aircraft was broken in half from the impact and the wings were ripped off after it hit some tree branches on its way down. Three men working on the home are also lucky; they told investigators that they were just able to avoid the plane before it landed in house.

Federal investigators are now searching for a cause of the incident. They are listening to tapes between the pilot and air traffic control as well as interviewing witnesses. The National Transportation Safety Board has taken the plane to a storage facility in Los Angeles to examine the plane for any signs of malfunction or defects.

The National Transportation Safety Board has been releasing more details on a plane crash that occurred Monday on Lake Winnebago that killed two people.

According to reports, a 36-year-old woman and 47-year-old man were the only people in the single-engine Piper plane when it crashed over Lake Winnebago, just a half mile from the shore of Van Dyne. The two people had been flying from Oshkosh, where they had attended an aviation convention.

Boaters rushed to the area where the plane crashed in order to help the victims, who were in 6 feet of water. Both the man and woman died at the scene of the accident. The NTSB and Federal Aviation Administration are currently investigating the cause of the crash.

Our thoughts and sympathies are with the friends and families of the man and woman who died in this tragic accident.

The National Transportation Safety Board issued an initial report this week on the May 9th plane crash that killed a 65-year-old man.

According to the NTSB's report, the man was flying an airplane that was owned by New Frontier Aviation. The man was on a thirty-day contract to fight fires with the plane in Wisconsin. On his way back to his home state of Montana, the airplane crashed. According to an eyewitness, the plane went down suddenly in a cloud of smoke.

The report does not cite a cause for the accident, but it has been said that investigations into the accident are still being conducted. It is not clear at this time if New Frontier Aviation is at fault in the accident.
