It was a cold autumn morning and this exact model twin propellor plane was flying to New Jersey. This was one of only 99 built. The most interesting fact, though, is that the NTSB conducted a study of 477 planes including this model and found that it had the second highest engine failure and crash rate among twin prop planes at the time.
As for this plane…There are several factors that led to what happened next - most being weather related. Let’s go inside the cabin to get a better idea. This is the same cabin that we’ll see later when we get to the plane, so remember what this looks like. There were two pilots and four passengers on board. At some point within 100 miles of the origin point, traveling at around 10,000 feet, the pilots encountered some trouble.
If we look at the official crash report we get a pretty clear picture of what happened. The type of accident is listed as engine failure or malfunction, with probably causes listed as:
Pilot error - either by inadequate preflight preparation or improper operation of the plane
Weather conditions - it was reported that the de-icing equipment either malfunctioned or was used improperly. This may have cause the carburetor to freeze, which supplies fuel to the engines
This likely led to partial power loss of one engine, and then complete flameout, meaning no fuel in the engine. Unable to maintain a safe altitude, the crew attempted an emergency landing with one engine when the aircraft stalled and crashed in the swamp. One passenger was killed while five other occupants were injured.
So what’s going to happen to this plane now? It will most likely stay here, as it has been for the past few decades. This wreck is too far into the woods to be recovered, and at this point there’s no benefit to removing it. The plane is a part of the forest now, and I hope it stays that way.

I live in RI. I'm shocked that someone from West Warwick hasnt dragged this out of the swamp and propped it on cinderblocks in their front yard.

[@ELMS]

As an Air Force veteran I’d like to thank you for treating the crash site with respect, since someone lost their life there. And thanks for obscuring the exact location. Great video.

My Grandfather was the chief fireman of the town that this happened in. He was a first responder. He has since passed, but would tell me stories about the 5 plane crashes he's been involved in during his career. He saved all of the newspaper clippings from this and I found them recently. He's actually quoted in all of the news articles! He saw a lot in his career!

As a former Aviation Archeologist specializing in New England I could tell you about dozens of crash sites in the woods of New England.

Being originally from Warwick. That plane crashed a few months after I was born in 71. My grandfather took me and my older brother there in the mid-80s. It was a hike even then. I haven't seen that plane since around 1984 or 85. It still looks almost exactly the same. It was a Rockwell Aero Commander 560.

Y’all really need to figure out your audio, in every video the voices are extremely low, background and ambient noises super high and the music drowns out everything when it’s playing

[@Sparty-pi3jq]

New to your videos, but as an ex Marine Corps aviator and current civilian aviator, I do appreciate the respect with which you showed the crash site. Subscribed!

[@kbhaze6862]

Please do memorial hospital in pawtucket. I went in once and it was beautiful

[@roadweary5252]

Lived and still have family in RI and never knew this was there. Another great video, Jason!

[@JimHendrickson]

Neat explore. I don't think this is the only abandoned plane wreck in RI. And as a tip, stuff in the woods is easier to access in winter.

[@justins3131]

I wish you could tell us where these locations are. I understand why you don't, people suck and have to ruin things. Thank you for treating this and your other locations with respect

[@jessicab2784]

Born and raised here in RI. Never knew this existed. Great work! The editing, the knowledge, the research! You’re pretty awesome! Definitely watching more of your videos! Thank you for this! Love learning about New England! ♥️

[@Oliver_Clothesoff]

I always look forward to your videos, great work.

[@2eyeluvmac2]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@tarynmac1975]

I always thought this was a RI urban legend. Thanks for making it real. I had heard strange tales about this crash decades ago, esp. that when it crashed it didn't leave any marks on the adjacent trees. Also heard that it was very hard to find because it didn't really leave any of the usual crash-site evidence. Thanks for the education on something I've always wondered about.

[@frankb5693]

Wow, this was amazing….thanks Jason!

[@rainking63]

Amazing! Thank you for this video. Good stuff my friend!

[@TodayGarage]

Another killer video man!

[@explorenewengland5954]

This was amazing! Thank you for sharing, what a journey!

[@allyremillard]

Heading out there tomorrow. Thanks for the video!!! Can’t wait
