Two dead, three survive after plane from Ohio State Airport crashes in southwest Florida
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — A small private jet traveling from Ohio State University Airport crashed Friday afternoon in southwest Florida.
Five people were on board, according to the FAA. Naples Airport officials confirmed two of them died and three survived.
AirNav RadarBox flight tracking shows the path the jet took before the crash. As it approached Naples Airport flying east, the pilot veered slightly north before curving back south over Interstate 75.
Radio recordings showed the pilot contacted the Naples Air Traffic Control tower to inform them of the situation before the crash. The pilot said the jet had “lost both engines, emergency. I’m making an emergency landing.”
The operator cleared the pilot for landing at Naples Airport, but the pilot responded, “We’re not going to make the runway.”
