An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

At 5:30PM in Prisby, seven passengers (including two pilots) got aboard the Prisby 422 commercial jet. The plane was due to leave Prisby Island at 5:45PM, make a stop at Powell Island by 7:45PM, the leave to Heritel and finally land by 9:00PM in the town of Wexington. Due to human error, the plane took off at 5:45PM directly to Heritel, missing its stop in Powell. While the stop at Powell was added to the route in order to drop off and pick up two passengers, flight staff also decided to not refuel the aircraft until it landed in Powell to save costs.

  • At 5:30PM in Prisby, seven passengers (including two pilots) got aboard the Prisby 422 commercial jet. The plane was due to leave Prisby Island at 5:45PM, make a stop at Powell Island by 7:45PM, the leave to Heritel and finally land by 9:00PM in the town of Wexington. Due to human error, the plane took off at 5:45PM directly to Heritel, missing its stop in Powell. While the stop at Powell was added to the route in order to drop off and pick up two passengers, flight staff also decided to not refuel the aircraft until it landed in Powell to save costs. At 8:15PM, the pilots realized their error, however it was too late. Messages were sent reporting the aircraft was now using reserve fuel. At the time, they believed it was possible to make an emergency landing at Parringten Peninsular on the coast of Heritel. Unfortunately, the Prisby 422 jet finally ran out of reserve fuel as it was approaching, and missed the peninsula, colliding with the waters instead. The crash was mainly witnessed by residents in Parringten, who reportedly drove their boats to the wreckage and saved 4 of the passengers before the aircraft sank. The violent collision with the water killed one of the pilots on impact. An older passenger on the plane was believed to have died of a heart attack during the crash landing. The other pilot was said to have been freeing the passengers from their seats, and helped the final passenger escape before the aircraft was consumed by the water. He never made it out himself.
