: A 30-year-old man who was flying a 1972 Bellanca Super Viking when it
: crashed into a pond in northeastern Oklahoma on Saturday night,
: killing all three passengers, has been charged with three counts of
: manslaughter. Thomas Brent Caldwell, 30, of Pryor, Okla., apparently
: never had a pilot certificate and was drinking at the time of the
: accident, authorities said. Killed in the crash were Mariano Carlos,
: 15, of Pryor; and Eduardo Robles, 20, and Campos Gonzalez, 33, both
: from Mexico. Investigators said it appears the engine was not
: producing power when the airplane hit the water, and the passengers
: appear to have drowned.
