A plane that was supposed to be flying to Bozeman, Montana, crashed into a cemetary in Butte, Montana Sunday. The plane left from Orville, California at 11 pm PT, it was supposed to be flying to Bozeman, Montana but was rerouted to Butte instead. It ended up crashing 500 feet short of the Bert Mooney Airport in Butte, Montana. At least 17 people were killed. The plane was manufactured in 2001 and is registered with the Eagle Cap Leasing in Enterprise, Oregon, said the Federal Aviation Administration. They are not sure on why they plane crashed, the National Transportation Safey Board is still investigating the cause. Several children were on board on their way to a ski vacation, according to The Montana Standard newspaper.This is a terrible accident. Its amazing to me how something like this can happen and it already be in the news literally 12 hours later. Airtravel, while fun and easy, is also unreliable at times. I don't understand how something like this can just happen. I agree with Amanda http://current-events-7.blogspot.com/ when she says that they need to have regulations on checking planes so this kind of thing doesn't happen so often. They crashed literally 500 feet short of the runway. Just 500 more feet and they all would have been fine. Those 17 lives that were lost would all still be here with their families and friends. Those children would be hitting the slopes down the mountains in Montana. Unfortunately, those things did not happen. This plane crashed, for no reason known yet. It is a very sad event. Something that makes you really sit down and think about things. There were a couple of eye-witnesses, they said that they just saw the plane nosedive out of now where and went to try the survivors if there were any, unfortunately there was nothing they could do to help the victims. It was already too late by the time they made it to the plane that had crashed. Its a was a terrible accident. Hopefully the National Transportation Safety Board will find a cause and put some more perspective into what happened to those 17 people. Hopefully some closure will be found for the families and friends grieving their deaths tonight.
