5 people die in small plane crash in Tennessee: “I'm too far away, I won't make it,” said the pilot. Air traffic controllers were hopeful that the aircraft would be able to land on a runway.
But it crashed just three miles from the airport. Three children are among the victims of the crash near Charlotte Park, a suburb of Nashville. The single-engine plane fell about 60 feet (18 meters) from the eastbound lanes of Interstate 40.
