Investigators combing through wreckage of deadly Nashville plane crash [Video]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The investigation into Monday evening’s deadly plane crash in West Nashville digs deeper as the National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) examines the wreckage.

The remnants of the plane are now in a hangar in Springfield, being combed over by the NTSB.

Here’s what we know from the NTSB’s on-site investigation on Tuesday: the flight, which originated in Ontario, Canada, made two stops to likely refuel and attempted a landing at John C. Tune airport in Nashville. Before landing, however, the pilot reported engine and power failure and crashed along Interstate 40, killing all five people, including three children, aboard the flight.

Now, NTSB officials said their mission is to find what exactly failed and work to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
