This video provides a rare glimpse into early response efforts in the immediate aftermath of an aviation accident. Be advised that although all graphic images have been redacted, discussion of the scene does take place. On October 12, 2017 two men lost their lives when the single-engine Cessna they were flying crashed in a remote and mountainous area of Doña Ana County, about four miles northeast of the Las Cruces International Airport. The men, David Glenn Hancock, 67, of El Paso, Texas, and instructor Morris Douglas Newton, 77, of Las Cruces, were the only occupants of the aircraft. Hancock was close to earning his pilot’s license, and the pair had just taken off to perform a 30-minute night flight when they crashed. No significant information on the accident has been released by authorities. Officials responded that night by helicopter, ATV, and on foot. As can be seen in this footage, the aircraft was still on fire when officers arrived and the scene was rapidly evolving. The first half of the video contains subtitles. ~~~ /r/realworldpolice @realworldpolice ~~~ Want to help make Real World Police happen and get rewarded for it? Become a Sergeant on Patreon today!
