لقي ثلاثة أشخاص مصرعهم في تحطم طائرة أميركية في منطقة جبلية في وادي "سولت ليك فالي" الأميركي بسبب سوء الأحوال الجوية.

وقالت شبكة "فوكس نيوز" الاخبارية الأميركية الليلة الماضية ان الطائرة كانت في رحلة جوية من ولاية "مونتانا" إلى ولاية "نيو مكسيكو "عندما عجز قائدها عن تحديد مساره بسبب الضباب الكثيف الذي كان يعلو جبال "اوكير".

وتمكنت قوات الانقاذ من رصد حطام الطائرة وهى من طراز نيبتون ذات المحركين متناثرا على مساحة نحو 100 ياردة .
واوضحت الشبكة إن الطائرة المنكوبة استخدمت كطائرة حربية خلال الحرب الكورية ثم أعيد تطويرها لاستخدامها في إطفاء حرائق الغابات.
