American Connection Flight 5966 British Aerospace Jetstream 32 – Lieff Global is actively investigating potential litigation based upon the October 19, 2004 crash of American Connection Flight 5966 during an instrument approach into the Kirksville Regional Airport in Kirksville, Missouri. Two crew members and eleven passengers, mostly doctors and other medical professionals en route to a conference in Missouri, were tragically killed.
The plane collided with trees during a low altitude approach into Kirksville, causing one wing to separate and the fuselage to burst into flames shortly after impact. Early reports indicate that the two pilots involved in the crash may have been fatigued, as they were on their sixth flight of the day and in their fifteenth hour of work when the plane went down. The subject aircraft also lacked a modern terrain proximity warning system, a readily available and inexpensive device that is standard equipment on most large airliners. Considered to be one of the "finest safety technologies that has ever come along," the enhanced system has been credited with protecting countless passengers from accidents of this very nature.
