FORT LAUDERDALE – The Broward Sheriff’s Business has introduced the names of the two adult males who died Tuesday night in a smaller plane crash in the murky waters of the Everglades off I-75 near Weston.
BSO recognized the victims as Khadim Kebe of Texas and Mohamed Badenjki or North Miami Seaside.
“We observed two occupants, regrettably, they were deceased,” mentioned Broward Sheriff Hearth Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Kane.
The single-engine Cessna 172 Skyhawk took off from North Perry Airport in Pembroke Pines about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, in accordance to FlightAware, traveling just 29 miles.
“It perhaps went off the radar at 6:45 p.m. We were not alerted until eventually this morning all over 10:30 a.m.,” said Kane
In accordance to BSO dispatch they discovered of the crash when a girlfriend of one particular of the guys on board termed, indicating she hadn’t listened to from them and the phone was off.
The plane broke apart on impact around mile marker 28.
“Our area hearth station, about a few or four miles absent, responded with their airboat and other property. They have been able to make contact with that aircraft very immediately, about 40 minutes time. Unfortunately, the two occupants of that plane have been already deceased,” reported Kane.
The crash sparked a little fire on the particles.
“There is a smaller fire burning all over the aircraft most most likely owing to the gasoline that was onboard the plane and during the crash it probably ignited,” stated Kane.
The FAA and the Nationwide Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate.
