The aircraft, originating from Fort Dodge, Iowa, was approaching Anderson Municipal Airport but was instructed to reroute due to coming in too high. Witnesses reported the plane flipping and nosediving into the field, leading to a fiery crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident, which has deeply affected local first responders and witnesses. In a separate incident, a small plane crashed in Hawthorne, California, critically injuring the pilot and passenger, while another plane crashed at Petaluma Municipal Airport with no reported injuries.
