Two pilots were hospitalized and three people were treated for minor injuries after a military jet crashed in a Lake Worth neighborhood Sunday morning, officials say.

Lake Worth officials received a call at 10:53 a.m. about the downed plane in the 4000 blocks of Tejas and Dakota trails. Both pilots in the plane had ejected.

One was taken in critical condition by CareFlite to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas and an ambulance took the other to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.

They were not named, but the office of the Chief of Naval Air Training identified the two people in the Navy T-45C Goshawk jet trainer as an instructor pilot and a student aviator.

The jet was assigned to Training Air Wing 2 at Naval Air Station Kingsville, and was conducting a routine training flight from the Corpus Christi International Airport, the Chief of Naval Air Training's office said.

The cause of the crash had not been determined Sunday afternoon, and a safety team was on its way to assess the damage, the office said.

The plane came down in a neighborhood about one mile north of the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth.

Three houses were damaged when the plane crashed into the backyards, and three residents from the houses were treated for minor injuries and released, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.

One pilot was found in the powerlines with his parachute. The other pilot was found in a nearby neighborhood, Lake Worth Police Chief JT Manoushagian said.

The crash site is in a neighborhood designated by the military as being in an "accident potential zone," an area where an accident could occur because it is on approach or departure from the base, Manoushagian said.

Two off-duty Fort Worth firefighters ran to help the pilots, the fire department said, and one woman rushed to her older neighbors to get them away from their homes.

Kaitlyn Deramus lives on Tejas Trail and said she saw two people eject from the plane. She said she went to help her neighbors, one of whom was paralyzed, because she knew they'd need help getting out.

"I knew there are old ladies in that house that it happened at and I was banging on their door but they wouldn't come out because they thought it was just a car, so I grabbed them out," Deramus said. "The house behind that, I ran over to the next street and got that lady out of that house because she's paralyzed and she needed to get out."

Deramus was shaken but relieved that the residents were not injured.

"I'm having anxiety, but all I wanted to do was save those old ladies because I've known them since I was really, really, little," Deramus said. "They're OK physically."

Cara Campbell was blocks away from where the plane crashed when she said she saw one of the pilots land on the powerlines.

“我在我的车在国道199在front of the donut shop when the pilot landed on the powerlines," Campbell said. "While driving, I heard a loud explosion and debris was hitting the car."

Lake Worth Fire Chief Ryan Arthur said the American Red Cross was on scene to help the residents whose homes were damaged.

"It's very fortunate that it could have been a lot worse if it had been a direct contact into a residence," Arthur said. "Fortunately that's not the case."

Utilities and other services to the roughly two to three-block radius around the crash site will be impacted for a couple of days, he said.

Anyone who finds debris is asked not to touch it, and to call the Lake Worth police non-emergency number at 817-237-1224.

A Kalitta Air Boeing 747-400, registration N741CK performing freight flight K4-330 from Leipzig (Germany) to East Midlands,EN (UK), landed on East Midlands' runway 27 when shortly after touchdown and after engaging spoilers and reverse thrust the #3 engine (CF6, inboard right hand) emitted streaks of flames and a loud bang. The aircraft rolled out without further event, emergency services responded, the aircraft vacated the runway and taxied to the apron with the engine still running. Emergency services performed a runway inspection focussing on the area of the touch down zone runway 27.

Ground observer Tony Johnson reported the #3 engine obviously ingested something on landing and went bang.

The aircraft is still on the ground in East Midlands about 17 hours after landing.

Yes it is a sick out. The employees are not picking up the slack on open time trips or voluntarily extending their flying hours when asked to help out. This I know from a personal friend that’s a pilot at Southwest. No one is really owning up to what is going on but the employees are mad about the mandates and are taking a stand against it !!!!!!!! Hopefully a show of force can help our medical freedoms.

The Force is Strong With This One
I happen to work for Southwest. I’m a pilot as I’ve posted in the past. There is NO organized sickout or other here. Folks are burnt out after a summer of poor management decisions which left 500 guys on the street and then ramped up the schedule. Couple that with the timing of the mandate which isn’t sitting well with many and you have a recipe for staffing shortages.

Aircraft ‘Wasn't Falling … It Was Flying' at Time of Santee Plane Crash: Flight Instructor

It will likely be weeks or maybe even months before Santee residents know what happened Monday in the skies over that East County city, but a look at official records and a discussion with a local flight instructor may offer some clues into the cause of the fatal crash.

What to Know

  • On Oct. 11, 2021, a doctor piloting a twin-engine Cessna C340crashed at around 12:15 p.m. in a neighborhood in Santeein east San Diego County, destroying two homes and a UPS truck
  • The plane was headed to San Diego from Yuma, Arizona; according to its flight path, it was supposed to land at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in Kearny Mesa but never made it
  • At least two people were killed in the deadly plane crash: The pilot,Dr. Sugata Das,and the driver of the UPS truck,Steve Krueger
It will likely be weeks or maybe even months before Santee residents know what happened Monday in the skies over that East County city, but a look at official records and a discussion with a local flight instructor may offer some clues into the cause of the fatal crash.

For that matter, it will be some time before there is official confirmation about who was killed in the plane piloted by Dr. Saguta Das. On Tuesday, county public information officer Chuck Westerheide told NBC 7 that official IDs will likely not come out for a few weeks.

However, discussions with a local flight instructor, Chris Sluka, examinations of Federal Aviation Administration records and a review of communications between Das and local air traffic controllers offer a picture of what was happening shortly after noon on Monday above Santee.

Das, a San Diego County resident of the Fairbanks Ranch community, had filed flight plans for Montgomery Field in Kearny Mesa, returning from a trip to Yuma, Arizona, a flight he made regularly while traveling for his work as a physician affiliated with the Yuma Regional Medical Center.

FAA records show that Das' flight experience and pilot training were well above average. In fact, he earned a commercial pilot certificate in October 2014, which would have allowed him to carry paying passengers. Specifically, he had an airplane multI engine rating and instrument airplane certificate, something most private pilots don't possess. The certification allowed Das to fly more types of planes with fewer restrictions. In the simplest of terms, an instrument rating means the pilot can fly a plane without seeing outside the window — or at night — relying instead solely on the plane's instruments.

Furthermore, Das appears to have a lot of flight experience. Since July 19, his twin-engine Cessna C340 made 25 flights, most of them between San Diego and Yuma, but he also took it up for some longer, three-hour flights as well.

San Diego flight instructor Christopher Sluka, who did not know Das personally, told NBC 7 that, based on Das' flight history, he wasn’t a typical weekend warrior, or even someone with a flying hobby. He believes that Das got around and definitely knew what he was doing.

Also, Das received a first class medical certification in August 2020, the most difficult medical-class certification, one that is expensive to obtain. In fact, only airline pilots are required to have that certificate, which means, as of last summer, he passed the most rigorous medical examination. Pilots over the age of 40 are all required need to pass an EKG test, something Das, a cardiologist, would have been well-versed about.

Sluka told NBC 7 that the average speed of descent is 500 feet per minute. At the time of the crash, Das is believed to have been flying at 3,800 ft per minute.

Sluka believes that fact, combined with an audio recording of Das' communication with air traffic controllers, makes Sluka suspect Das was disoriented and believed he was ascending when he was, in fact, descending, until he got out of the clouds, when it was too late to correct his trajectory.

In an audio recording of Das' exchanges with air traffic control, a controller can be heard telling Das his plane was too low and instructing Das to climb to 4,000 feet, and then Das confirming receipt of the instructions.

“Low altitude alert, climb immediately, climb the airplane,” the controller told Das.

However, the controller did not see an adjustment made and repeatedly urged Das to climb to 5,000 feet. When the aircraft remained at 1,500 feet, the controller warned: “You appear to be descending again, sir.”

Sluka believes the reason for the crash was either disorientation or that Das had suffered a medical incident.


Either way, Sluka said, “the plane wasn’t falling out of the sky, it was flying,” Sluka said.


Al Diehl, a former National Transportation Safety Board investigator, said the recording between air traffic control and Das indicates he was trying to deal with a major distraction or significant emergency on his own, breaking a basic rule that aviators should always tell controllers everything.


“The first thing you do when you’re in trouble is call, climb and confess — and he did not do any of the three," Diehl said. “These are very basic rules that flight instructors tell their students.”


Diehl, who helped design a Cessna cockpit, said the twin-engine aircraft has a complex system that could lead to deadly mistakes.


Clouds and windy weather may have complicated Das' ability to handle the aircraft, Diehl said.


Das and another man, Steve Krueger, a local UPS delivery driver, were killed at the scene, and two other people were hurt as well. A pair of homes were destroyed and five others were damaged.


On Tuesday, three investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) arrived in Santee to look into the deadly crash.


NTSB officials will be assessing the scene of the crash, gathering as much information as possible to determine what caused the tragedy.


"Part of the investigation will be to request radar data, weather information, air traffic control communication, airplane maintenance records and the pilot’s medical records," a spokesperson for the agency said in a statement. "NTSB investigators will look at the human, machine and environment as the outline of the investigation."


The NTSB spokesperson said a preliminary report on the investigators' findings is expected to publish Oct. 26 -- 15 days after the crash.

Russian emergency services are responding after an Antonov An-12 cargo plane was confirmed to have crashed close to the Siberian city of Irkutsk, with officials in Moscow saying at least seven people could have been on board.

“At 2:50pm Moscow time, the An-12 aircraft, flying between Yakutsk and Irkutsk, disappeared from the radar,”a source told RIA Novosti.“Initially, two people have been killed and the fate of a further five people is still unknown.”The plane is said to belong to Belarusian airline ‘Grodno’ and was operating a cargo flight.

“According to preliminary reports, the crash site has been found in the area of the village of Pivovarikha [in the region around Irkutsk], not far from the airfield. The plane went into a second circle during landing and then disappeared from the radar,”a source told the agency.
A source in the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations has since said that“fire and rescue units have arrived at the scene. The plane is catching fire,”and emergency services are working to extinguish the blaze.

The An-12 is a Soviet-era turboprop plane produced between 1957 and 1973, primarily for the armed forces of the USSR. It has since been operated by a number of civilian airlines in the former Soviet Union, primarily for freight flights. In 2019, an An-12 crashed close to Lviv airport in Western Ukraine, killing five of the seven crew on board.

The incident marks the latest in a series of air disasters in Siberia and the Russian Far East. In July, emergency workers investigating the disappearance of an Antonov An-26 turboprop plane announced that they had recovered the bodies of 22 passengers and six crew after it crashed into a cliff on the Kamchatka peninsula.
