A Wednesday evening plane crash into a mountain in Arizona left as many as six people dead, three of them children. Rescue crews searching the area for survivors said it did not look promising that anyone had survived the deadly crash. A man who witnessed the impact, Kevin Cunningham, 44, said he was talking on the phone from his back porch when he saw the crash.
“The flames lit up the mountain,” said Cunningham. He added that the plane did not appear to be in distress before it crashed. “Somebody didn’t know the mountain was there or they had false readings,” Cunningham speculated. Officials believe the flight was part of a Thanksgiving trip.
