Twin Cessna Down In PA After Pilot Reports Icing

Two Persons Lost In C414 Crash

A Cessna 414 crashed Tuesday afternoon during an emergency landing attempt at John Murtha Johnstown-Cambria County Airport (KJST) in Pennsylvania. Officials say the two persons onboard the piston twin were killed.

The FAA reports the plane (file photo of type, right) was heading from Morgantown, WV to New Jersey's Teterboro Airport when the pilot reported ice accumulating on the plane.

Officials say the plane impacted the runway at JST, and exploded in flames.

Media reports state the plane was registered to Wharf Place LLC in Morgantown.

The accident in Pennsylvania was the second involving a C414, also known as a Chancellor, in 24 hours.

As Aero-News reported, another C414 went down Monday night on its second approach to land at Gwinnett County Airport near Atlanta, GA. Authorities say fog was in the area at the time of the crash.

Three persons were killed in the Georgia accident.
