Maine Has Had 3 Plane Crashes in Less Than a Month

This is the third plane crash in Maine in less than a month, and the second fatality.

On August 22nd, Luigi Accusani, 74, of Italy, died while landing at Bangor International Airport. An initial investigation suggests Mr. Accusani, who was alone in the aircraft, noticed his wing was too close to the pavement of the runway when he landed. As he tried to correct, the plane caught a crosswind and crashed.

It was just over a week later when a float plane crashed on takeoff from Flaggstaff Lake in Dead River Township. The pilot, Stephen Vorpagel, 62, of Readfield, and a passenger sustained minor injuries in the crash that remains under investigation.
