Ash-Scattering Plane In Crash

0

A New Jersey pilot and his passenger came uncomfortably close to becoming metaphors for their mission when the Cessna 182 they were in crashed on takeoff from Greenwood Lake Airport Saturday. The aircraft is owned by Last Wish LLC, which specializes in scattering the cremated remains of those who’d like to spend eternity as part of their favorite hunting, fishing or recreational sites. It’s not clear if there was a silent witness to the crash but pilot William Fallon and his passenger Mark Gangi avoided joining the dearly departed and are in the hospital with a variety of injuries, some of them serious.

As for the crash itself, it would appear something went wrong just after takeoff, as the wreck ended up at the end of the runway. “It looks like they hit the ground, nosed it and spun around,” West Milford Acting Police Chief Gene Chiosie told local media. The remains of the 182 are undoubtedly headed for the scrapyard.
