Cops Seek Reason for Plane Crash That Killed Man, Daughter

Tuesday, March 06, 2007

INDIANAPOLIS — Federal and state investigators were trying to determine Tuesday why a man took his 8-year-old daughter up in a small plane and then crashed it into his former mother-in-law's home, killing the little girl and himself.

Eric Johnson strapped daughter Emily into the passenger seat of a leased, single-engine Cessna on Monday and took off from Virgil I. Grissom Municipal Airport, police said. Moments later, the aircraft slammed into the side of Vivian Pace's house in this southern Indiana city.

State and Bedford police were treating the criminal investigation as a suicide and homicide, State Police 1st Sgt. Dave Bursten said. No note of explanation had yet been found, Bursten said.

"It is just gut-wrenching to think about what was happening to that child just prior to the crash," he said.....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,256688,00.html

Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, whom the airport where the plane took off was named after.

"Lieutenant Colonel Grissom died on January 27, 1967, in the Apollo spacecraft flash fire during a launch pad test at Kennedy Space Center, Florida."

I remember watching "The Right Stuff" and that whole episode about the lost space capsule that Grissom piloted. I wonder if NASA had it in for ol' Gus?
