Initially, authorities reported that three individuals were missing following the crash, which resulted in a large fire. This number included two occupants of the plane and one resident of the townhome. The incident took place around 10:30 a.m. local time when a twin-engine Cessna 421C went down just three minutes after departing from Troutdale Airport, a small facility in Multnomah County mainly used for flight training and as an alternative airport for Portland International Airport. Social media footage captured one townhome engulfed in flames with thick smoke billowing from an adjacent unit. John Plock, a public information officer for the Multnomah County Sheriff\u2019s Office, stated that the plane initially struck a power pole, causing debris to scatter before crashing into the homes. &#8220;The plane hit a power pole and so the impact appears to have caused some parts of it to break off; there are essentially two crash sites with debris spread out,&#8221; he explained. Scott Lewis, fire chief of the Gresham Fire Department, noted that four units were affected by the fire and five families would likely be displaced as a result. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an investigation into the incident<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3359,"featured_media":2334995,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iStock-839004180.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[32327,21181,6642,38143,39833],"class_list":["post-2334994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-breaking-news","tag-fatalities","tag-oregon","tag-plane-crash","tag-small-aircraft"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/iStock-839004180.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3359"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2334994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2334994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2334995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2334994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2334994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2334994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
