Engine failure, say accident investigators, was the primary contributing factor in Saturday’s accident of a Cessna 401A outside Gladewater Municipal Airport. As a result of the failed engine, the aircraft slammed into the ground fifty yards short of the runway. Incredibly, although five passengers were injured, no one was killed. Four were released a day later; unfortunately, one passenger remains in intensive care in a local hospital.
More than a dozen municipal, county, executive, and regional airports dot the North Texas countryside. As a result, every day hundreds of planes enter and leave North Texas airspace. Although the vast majority do so with little fanfare and no injury, the tragic reality is that a significant minority of small, privately-owned aircraft are involved in serious accidents every year, just like the Cessna that crashed in East Texas.
