The Spanish rescue services resulted in this Sunday, August 3, the bodies of the two occupants of a light miplace plane on Sunday, August 3, which was damaged in the sea this Saturday night in front of the island of Mallorca, in the Balearic archipelago, the Civil Guard said.
The accident occurred around 8 pm on Saturday in an area near the Lighthouse of the Port of Soller, located in the northern part of this Mediterranean island, according to a brief press release from the Civil Guard.
As our colleagues announced in IB3N, the remains were treated to carry out an investigation. It is the presence of a witness at the time of the accident that was crucial to locate the bodies, 30 meters deep in the port.
The plane, which had left an airfield farther on earth on the island of Mallorca two hours before, then damaged in the sea, one hundred meters from the coast, said a boat boat to the police.
A father and his son
This Sunday, August 3, the main hypothesis is that the plane would have been the victim of an accident during an acrobatic exercise.
According to the local press, it was an acrobatic plane that made maneuvers in the air before the accident. IB3N announces that one of the occupants is a commercial pilot of the American nationality, 60, accompanied by his 13 -year -old son.
In Binissalem Aeródome, the pilot, a former American aviation employee who lived in Germany, was an instructor known and presented as “very experienced” by Enrique Bruguera, an aerodrome user.
Air Acrobatics was considered “compatible”
At the moment, we still don’t know if other people were on the plane. The only certainty is that this two -seater acrobatic plane is registered in the United States. Researchers are currently colliding with the lack of information, the plane model that was blocked in the port of Soller did not receive a black box.
As for the airfield, it is a private, unattended installation. Also according to our IB3N colleagues, aerobatics over the port of Soller were considered to fulfill the authorities, adding that appropriate preventive measures had been taken.
