NTSB Says Engine Trouble May Have Caused Fatal Wayne County Plane Crash

The National Transportation Safety Board has released its preliminary report on last month's fatal plane crash in Wayne County. 

The report indicates possible engine trouble as the cause, based on a witness' account of the crash.  The witness said white smoke erupted from an engine after it took off, killing the pilot and copilot.
