A week has passed since an airplane owned by Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neal has crashed into another plane at the Scottsdale airport after his landing facilities seemed to have failed to divert from the track, killing a pilot and hurting several others.
The fatal catastrophe followed a series of incidents involving aircraft across the country, starting from the January 29 incident, in which the US Airlines regional aircraft carrying 64 people and a US Army’s helicopter, carrying three people, collided with close
A total of 67 people were killed.
A small medical jet carrying a patient’s patient crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood on January 31, killing seven people, while a small plane carrying 10 people crashed in Alaska on February 6, killing all 10 before Scottsdale’s plane crash.
The most recent Delta plane, carrying 80 people, crashed in Toronto on Monday afternoon, becoming the most in a series of aviation disasters in the first two months of 2025. No one was killed, but there were 18 people injured on Monday night.
Here’s what we know about Scottsdale’s plane crash that killed one.
What caused the crash?
Although there is no official finding of what exactly caused the crash, airport employees said the landing facilities did not seem to have failed during landing, which led to sliding from the track. The reason for the gear refusal is likely to be part of the investigation.
Who was the man who died?
Police have identified fatality as 78-year-old Joi Vitoski.
Vitoski’s daughter, Yana Sherzer, told the Arizona Republic that Vitoski was beginning to fly after joining the American Marine Infantry, where she served several tours of the Vietnam war.
After leaving the Marines, Vitosky had an eclectic flying career, Sherzer said. He flies people like Jesse Jackson, Maureen Reagan and owners of oil companies. He flies with trips to extract parts for companies such as FedEx, and also fly patients with transplantation waiting for life -saving operations.
Who else was on the plane?
Rain Hannah Andreeni, 43 -year -old, is the only person on board aircraft that is publicly identified except Vitos.
Andreani is the girlfriend of Mötley Crüe leading singer Neal. Neil owns Learjet, according to the filing to the Secretary of State of Wyoming. He was not on board, according to the legal representative of vocalist Warrick Robinson IV, who published a statement about the group’s social media crash.
Andreeni’s presence on the plane was confirmed to CNN on February 11 by Mötley Crüe manager, Alan Kovak. Kovac said Andreeni was with a friend and they were injured, according to CNN.
Who leads the investigation?
The National Transport Safety Council has taken over the investigation and is likely to release a preliminary report that goes through major facts from the collision within 30 days of the incident. The full report will probably take one to two years before being released.
What will the investigation cover?
Carrie Grant, an assistant at the Embry-Riddle Aeronautics University, said investigations of fatal airplane incidents often include many countries, including airplane and landing manufacturers, air traffic controllers, meteorological experts, and possibly airport, which is available During landing.
Officials are likely to investigate the training records and the backgrounds of the aircraft pilots, the maintenance of the aircraft landing facilities and whether the maintenance follows the manufacturer’s recommendations, Grant said.
