Thanx to Bluesneakers for this thread!
The F.B.I. is investigating whether the crash of a small plane in East Hartford, Conn., that killed a passenger on Tuesday was intentional, according to four federal law enforcement officials.
The pilot, who survived the crash, told investigators that it was not an accident.
Officials identified the passenger as Feras M. Freitekh, 28. Public records show he had lived in Orland Hills, Ill.,
. Federal Aviation Administration records show he was issued a private pilot certificate on May 29, 2015, and was certified to fly a single-engine plane.
... crashed around 3:40 p.m. on Main Street as it was on a final approach to Hartford-Brainard Airport in Hartford. ........... plane took off from a flight school at the airport.
The police chief of East Hartford, Scott M. Sansom, said during a news conferencethat the police sought the help of the Federal Bureau of Investigation because the plane went down near a Pratt & Whitney factory on Main Street, .................“critical infrastructure.”
... manufacturer of jet engines for commercial, military and general aviation aircraft.
“not appear at this time that any Pratt & Whitney employees or contractors were involved.”
The mayor said the pilot, to Bridgeport Hospital with serious burns.
.. in a minivan near the crash had minor injuries and were taken to a hospital, the police chief said.
National Transportation Safety Board were expected to arrive on Wednesday morning, he added.

First thought, I wonder if the pilot was in shock and or the investigators did not understand him correctly- why would you do that and then tell authorities that you did?
Oh goodness the pilot jumped out before crash?
I think media might be confusing that the two people in the van jumped out of the van not the pilot?
Wide debris field -- humm so kinda sounds like we might be talking about something on board.
Pilot and student. Debris for blocks so something started the plane disintegrating?
I wonder how high it was when accident sequence started.
How high was the plane when he jumped?
BUT jumping out of a flying plane I would think might, for lack of a better word, might result in some confusion - maybe he did not know what he was saying.
Getting strange "vibes" like if something went "off " in the plane I guess one might jump -- thats pretty out there tho huh?
Except DB Cooper ha!
Took off out of a flight school
