Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:43 am Post subject: YAK down in Maine with fatalities

Anyone have any details on the accident with two fatalities in South Portland, Maine?  

The aircraft went down after taking off from Portland International Jetport landing on a city street apparently downtown. The two occupants of the YAK 52 were the fatalities. No one on the ground was injured despite the A/C augering in on a busy street. This happened about 1530 local Saturday.  

This was reported by AP news in today’s Sunday edition of my local paper.

I saw a TV news bit... Looks like power loss on takeoff, crash landing on a busy street. Rudder (but not vertical stabilizer) was off, along with the right wing partially shorn off. Fuselage looked intact, and therefore survivable, but apparently it wasn't, RIP.

Survivability would depend on vertical G forces and forward G forces at impact. The Gx axis (vertical) and the Gy axis. The eyeball to great toe axis is the Gx axis. The downward then forward movement of the human body on impact could exert enough force to avulse the heart from the Aorta at its root attachment to the heart as well as fracture the cervical spine at the base of the skull effectively pithing the poor soul. There are some other fatal injuries that occur also. The two mentioned above are enough.   

Will be interested to see the cause.

Officials identified the occupants as Mark Haskell of Brunswick and Thomas Casagrande of Portland.



The plane was registered to Haskell, an air traffic controller for more than 20 years.
