Several days ago, a small plane accident was reported in Arkansas.
The state is notorious for unpredictable weather this time of year.
That appears to be what caused this tragedy that took five lives.
Tragic…
In addition to the train derailment, there was an additional tragedy that took place in Ohio recently.
There was an explosion at a local metal plant, which is where these individuals were headed.
Gunter Beaty, Kyle Bennett, Micah Kendrick, Sean Sweeney, and Glenmarkus Walker have been identified as the deceased.
They all worked for am Arkansas company called CTEH and were coming to help sort out the explosion.
The company website stated, “Kendrick, 41, was a safety supervisor with experience in conducting real-time air monitoring during chemical release responses.”
“Bennett, a 36-year-old staffing manager with a focus on logistics, has experience responding to crude oil releases, train derailments, chemical spills and other emergency responses.
“Beaty, 23, was a production safety data manager; Walker, 32, was a rapid responder; and Sweeney, 64, was the pilot.”
When the plane took off, winds were reported at more than 40 mph, which surely contributed to the crash.
The accident is currently under investigation.
