Five people, including three children, died when a single-engine plane crashed into a Nashville, Tennessee, highway after the pilot reported a total loss of engine power on Monday night, according to a National Transportation Safety Board official. However, upon approaching John Tune Airport, the plane ascended and passed overhead at 2,500 feet before reporting a catastrophic, complete loss of engine power, according to McCarter. The pilot contacted the tower and said the aircraft was not going to make it before the crash, according to police. The plane crashed behind a Costco just off the eastbound lanes of I-40, he said.
