MARIETTA, Oh. — A pilot and passenger of a small plane are dead after a crash early Tuesday mooring in Marietta, Ohio.
The Ohio State Highwya Patrol has relesed the names of the two victims. They are Eric S. Seevers, 45, of Parkersburg, and Timothy F. Gifford, 49, of Orient, Ohio,
The plane, a 1974 Beechcraft King Air E90, went down about 7:15 a.m. The plane landed in the car lot of Pioneer Buick GMC automobile dealership on Pike Street in Marietta.
Authorities say the two casualties were both on the plane and there were no reports of anyone on the ground injured or killed. There is substantial damage to a number of cars on the car lot. Videos and pictures posted to social media showed flames and smoke visible for miles.
The crash site is located across the Ohio River from Williamstown, W.Va.
Reports indicated the plane was headed from Columbus, Ohio to the Parkersburg airport.

Inbound to Parkersburg? Surprisingly not another “mysterious” king air rollover after takeoff.

Well, yeah, also appears to be on fire and missing a wing, so...

I couldn't tell if that was fire or a landing light or something.
I’d take a Grand National GNX any day. Granted, that’s more than 30 years old.

I wasn't sure either but then I noticed what I'm pretty sure is smoke.

I don’t think that’s smoke I think it’s vapor trails off the wing tip

Looking again, you may be right. In either case something was or had become wrong with the aircraft before it hit the ground, imho.

Vapor, smoke or fuel - it's anyone's guess at this point.
I somewhat agree with you. It's hard to say that without knowing the aircrafts mx history, or shops that performed the phase checks.
With that said, the E model, in my opinion is one of the better 90 series models. It carries more fuel and with the Blackhawk conversion is a real performer.
