Coast Guard plane's engine stopped working before it crashed
CRESSKILL, N.J. (AP) — A small plane carrying two Coast Guard Auxiliary members that crashed onto an athletic field lost engine power despite being inspected less than two months earlier, according to a preliminary investigative report.
Pilots Jack Rosenberg and Erik Pearson were returning from Albany on a routine observation mission when their Cessna Skyhawk's engine "stopped producing power" 2,000 feet above the Hudson River, according to the report.
