NTSB: Wellstone crash result of pilot error
Advertisements [?]
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pilot error caused the plane crash that killed Sen. Paul Wellstone, D-Minn., and seven others, investigators said Tuesday.

Investigators told the National Transportation Safety Board that the twin-propeller King Air A100 slowed down too much while approaching Eveleth-Virginia Municipal Airport in northern Minnesota on Oct. 25, 2002. The plane lost altitude, veered sharply, sheared off treetops and crashed 2 1/2 miles short of the runway.
