On Thursday, the government will collaborate with aviation experts to determine the cause of the little plane’s fatal crash in Chachoengsao’s tidal forest. All nine people on board died, including five Foreign nationals, authorities said.
Anutin Charnvirakul, the caretaker Deputy Prime Minister, told the media that about 40 % of the aircraft had been recovered after visiting the crash site yesterday.
Once all the parts are collected, they will be reassembled for researchers to observe, he said, adding that experts from the plane company would also be involved.
Since the little plane had no dark box, Mr. Anutin said witnesses may be questioned for the research.
He said the small propeller aircraft, made in the United States, was permitted to fly at an altitude of 5, 000 feet ( 1.5 kilometres ). If an incident occurred, aircraft of the support– most of them soldiers– were trained to attempt to property by gliding.
Mr Anutin, a captain himself, questioned why the aircraft did not fly down but rather plummeted to the surface.
He claimed that testimony reported hearing the motor from the aircraft before the collision, which indicated that it was still operating at the time. He said the research may concentrate on identifying the cause of the issue. He expressed confidence that the airport business had maintained the plane in accordance with all applicable laws, noting that the official cause may be determined afterwards.
Nine systems have been discovered and their names have been verified, according to Office of Police Forensic Science Region 2 chief Pol Maj Gen Chatchai Nanthamongkol.
According to the flight tracking site FL360aero, the Thai Flying Service Cessna Caravan C208 ( HS-SKR ) with nine people onboard left Suvarnabhumi Airport at 2.46pm, bound for Ko Mai Chee Airport in Trat province. Around 3 o’clock, according to reports, it lost communication with the Suvarnabhumi power tower.
In a marsh forest area close to Wat Khao Din in the Chacheongsao province’s Bang Pakong area, the accident took place at 3.18 p.m.
Backhoe trucks were used by rescuers to remove dirt from the accident site and uncover some body parts.
Chonlatee Yangtrong, the government of Chacheongsao, stated that all nine passengers were believed to have died.
The Taiwanese people were identified as Zhang Jingjing, 12, Zhang Jing, 43, Tang Yu, 42, Yin Jinfeng, 45, and Yin Hang, 13.
Two Thai journey servants were named Napak Jirasiri, 35, and Siriyupa Arunatid, 26. The aircraft was identified as Flt Lt Anucha Dechapirakchon, 61, and the co-pilot as Pornsak Totab, 30.
