Fatal North Dakota plane crash likely caused by geese
The dean of the University of North Dakota aerospace school says a National Transportation Safety Board report indicates a goose caused a school airplane crash in October.
Twenty-year-old student Adam Ostapenko of Duluth, Minn., and 22-year-old instructor Annette Klosterman of Seattle died in the crash. The twin-engine Piper Seminole crashed in a swampy area in central Minnesota on October 23rd.
The two were on a routine training flight from St. Paul, Minn., to Grand Forks.
University aerospace dean Bruce Smith says investigators found a large dent on the plane's left wing, another dent on the tail section and some goose remains.
