A tragic plane crash that occurred in 2024, claiming the lives of the pilot and two individuals at a mobile home park in Clearwater, Florida, was likely caused by an engine fire, as detailed in a recent report.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its findings on Tuesday, highlighting how the engine fire impeded pilot Jemin Patel’s ability to see the runway at Clearwater airport. This lack of visibility, as investigators noted, exacerbated the emergency situation and played a critical role in the crash’s outcome.
