On Saturday, all five members of a French-Moroccan family died after their plane crashed in the French Alps. The family was returning from a vacation in Morocco. No one is sure exactly why the plane's engine failed. Gilles Rabault, a police captain, stated that, "the plane disappeared off the radar and crashed shortly after takeoff from an airport near the southeastern city of Grenoble." After the crash was reported by a nearby resident, emergency workers responded immediately. At first the witness wasn't sure what exactly had happened, he just felt a big shake. It wasn't until the firemen informed them that they realized what has happened. I think that the family put themselves at risk by flying the plan without making sure that the engine was working properly. I hope that this makes other pilots more cautious.
