Five dead in Dallas air collision Associated Press DALLAS — Two private air planes collided over a rural resi dential area Tuesday, killing two pi lots and three corporate executives as the wreckage crashed within a quarter-mile of several houses, po lice said. The bulk of one plane plummeted into an old southeast Dallas landfill, and the other disintegrated about a quarter-mile away after the 1:30 p.m. accident, Dallas police spokes man Ed Spencer said. Four people — a pilot and three passengers — died in the twin-en gine Cessna 441 that dove into the old landfill near the Balch Springs community, police Lt. Kirk Stuart said. The passengers included two men and a woman. A fifth unidentified person died as a Cessna 152 single-engine plane crashed, but no one on the ground was injured, Stuart said. Rosewood Corp. President Don Crist said the larger plane belonged to his company, one of Dallas’ big gest hotel and real estate devel opment firms that is owned by Caro line Hunt Schoellkopf, daughter of legendary oil tycoon H.L. Hunt. Crist said the plane was returning to Dallas Love Field and carried no members of the Schoellkopf family when it crashed in clear weather. On board were three executives of Rosewood’s subsidiaries and a com pany pilot, he said, adding that iden tities would be released after rela tives were notified. The twin-engine plane’s fuselage split in half on impact, but the wreckage was not fire-blackened. Parts of the two planes fell close to houses within a quarter-mile of the crash sites. Elmer Ragland, a nearby resident, said, “It could’ve done a lot more damage than what it did. There are homes both ways from it. Any other time, there would have been a bunch of kids riding around out there.” Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were on the scene. J.H. “Sandy” Daugherty II, air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, said neither general aviation nor cor porate aircraft are required by carry flight recorders. Evidence at the scene indicated the crash was “not surviyable” and that a large part of the damage oc curred in the air, he said.
