Constellation Foederatarum News Update
- the co-pilot, 26 year-old Hal Van Maiser, died just three minutes ago due to severe internal injuries. The pilot has also suffered memory loss due to brain damage. A farmer reported seeing the aircraft, in a slight nose-down position, hit the radio tower and crash into his field. He saw that it appeared the number one engine was missing, leaving only the ragged remains of the engine mount. " I was sitting in my tractor, staring up at the stars, when I heard what sounded like a struggling jet. I looked up to see Freedom One, her left engine missing, clip a radio antenna with her right wing and hit my wheat field at a nose down angle. Before she hit the ground I saw a gaping hole in her left wing right above where the engine was. I immediately ran up to the crash site only to find burned bodies and a crying guard. The roosterpit of Freedom had lodged in the ground, separated from the mid-section, and I immediately ran back to my house and grabbed a shovel. I bashed in the roosterpit door with it, and I found the pilot inside, bleeding everywhere, along with the co-pilot, who's head was all strange and dented in. I got the pilot out but the co-pilot was too heavy." The farmer, who wishes to remain anonymous, then called the emergency services. A black box has been found, but it was the voice recorder, and so far nothing has been learned from it.
