Crash investigators find crack in plane's wing
Yeah . . . normally looking at the picture, I would have thought, and
agreed with you, that what you see in the picture was a wing. But the Mallard main landing gear is mounted on a short strut that hinges from the sides of the fuselage and if you look at the top of the debris it seems you see a main landing gear tire. It could be the angle or just the degree of damage, but from the angle that the photo was taken, I am not sure what part of plane I am looking at. My prayers for the families of those lost. Blue skies and Merry Christmas to you all. John |

The Mallard MLG mounts at the fuselage and the wing. http://makeashorterlink.com/?J2DF2195C |

Lattoni Calgary, Canada Seen video of the wing flying off and the plane going out of control. I think they will find metal fatigue or something similar to be the problem. So sad, really neat plane, Christmas shoppers heading to Bimini, tragic. ---------------------------------------------------- DW |
