SIX CHICAGOANS KILLED IN PLANE CRASH IN WEST VIRGINIA

February 2, 2009, by Jeffrey J. Kroll

Six people, four of whom were members of the American Polish Aero Club, were killed when a two-engine Piper PA plane crashed on Friday in Kenova, West Virginia.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) were gathering evidence to try to determine why the plane crashed.

My sincere condolences go out to the families of those who died in the crash. As a director of the Polish American Association, I know what an impact that this has had on Chicago's Polish community.
