Fatal Independence plane crash death of Mohammad Hussain Musawi – Obituary
On Saturday afternoon, a tragic plane crash in Independence, Oregon, claimed the lives of three individuals.
The single-engine aircraft went down after colliding with power lines just before 5 p.m., causing a power outage and igniting a small brush fire, as reported by the Independence Police Department.
The victims include the pilot, 35-year-old Mohammad Hussain Musawi, and passengers Mohammad Bashir Safdari, also 35, and Ali Jan Ferdawsi, 29, both from Salem, Oregon. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) identified the plane as a Cessna C-172G fixed-wing single-engine model.
The aircraft was en route from McMinnville to Independence State Airport amid heavy fog. Emergency crews were delayed in extinguishing the fire and investigating the crash site due to the need to deenergize high-voltage power lines.
The cause of the crash remains unknown. An NTSB investigator is at the site to document and examine the wreckage. The Federal Aviation Administration, alongside local authorities, is conducting an investigation into the incident.
