PLANE TO WINNIPEG FALLS APART, KILLING 6

-

A small plane that went down in northern Wisconsin fell apart in the air, killing the six men onboard, a spokesman for the National Transporta­tion Safety Board said Monday. The Cessna 421 that crashed at 3:21 a.m. Saturday left from Waukegan, Ill., and was flying to Winnipeg, NTSB spokesman Eric Weiss said. “The debris field suggested an in-flight break up,” Weiss said. Lt. Gabe Lind at the Price County Sheriff’s Office said the debris field stretched about 400 metres from a heavily wooded area onto a highway. The six aboard, all Americans, were headed to Canada for a fishing trip, the sheriff ’s office said.
