The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating a plane crash that left one person dead and another injured in Hendry County on Thursday afternoon.
Investigators with the agencies will try to determine why the twin-engine passenger plane, a Piper Aerostar 600, barely got off the ground after takeoff and why it went down, striking trees but missing the Church of Good Shepard Episcopal Church.
It could take several weeks or months for investigators to issue a final report on why the plane crashed.
