Three Lost As Plane Goes Down On Takeoff Along RI Coast

Wreckage Found Hours Later

The wreckage of a Piper Arrow has now been located... hours after it went down in the water off the coast of Rhode Island.

Soucres say the PA-28 took off from a private airport on Block Island shortly after noon on Wednesday... but crashed under as-yet unknown circumstances on climbout. All three people on board were killed.

The FAA says the Piper was cleared to take off from Block Island at about 12:07 Wednesday afternoon. It was never heard from again.

Coast Guard officials say the wreckage was found on the island about four hours later... with debris spread a half-mile from the runway.

The investigation into why that Piper went down is just now getting underway.
