Investigators in Tennessee have confirmed five Canadians, including two adults and three children, are dead after the single-engine plane they were travelling in crashed near downtown Nashville Monday evening.
The pilot radioed air traffic controllers at around 7:40 p.m. local time Monday reporting that his engine had shut down.
Metro Nashville Police said the control tower granted approval for an emergency landing at the John C.Tune Airport, just west of downtown Nashville, but the pilot said the aircraft wouldn’t make it to runway.
The plane crashed along a stretch of Interstate 40, behind a Costco store, and burst into flames.
