VIDEO: Three Dead In France Aircraft Crash As Former Army General’s Flight Ends In Tragedy

Three people were killed on Friday afternoon after a small plane crashed in Champhol, a town in north-central France.

The light aircraft, a Cessna 172 operated by a local flying club, took off but crashed within minutes after making what investigators believe was an overly sharp turn.

The aircraft struck a wall and then went down in a residential area, narrowly missing houses but damaging a parked vehicle.

All passengers — a 77-year-old former army general and a middle-aged couple — were pronounced dead at the scene.

Emergency responders quickly cordoned off the area while air transport authorities and national police began a formal investigation.

The incident raises serious concerns about flight safety and maneuver execution during low-altitude turns in older aircraft.

The aircraft’s condition, weather conditions, and pilot judgment are all under scrutiny as authorities investigate this tragic aviation accident.
