Quote: "New York Sen. Chuck Schumer is calling on the Nation Transportation Safety Board to perform an in-depth investigation into the number of recent small plane crashes, the Associated Press reports. In his letter he reportedly made public, the Democratic Senator cited the Feb. 19 crash in Bayonne that seriously injured a 56-year-old pilot and the Feb. 26 crash that killed two people on Long Island, according to the report."

Note: No need to spend taxpayer bucks, Chuck; I solved this mystery years ago, long before it became such a serious problem. But hey, sure, let's see what the NTSB has to say. I'm sure whatever they have to say will be very interesting, albeit probably useless and untruthful...

Flight 636 with 163 passengers and crew was about 10 minutes from landing in Dayton, Ohio,just before noon when a cockpit warning light indicated a fire in the aircraft's right engine, according to an internal Allegiant memo obtained by the Tampa Bay Times. Pilots immediately deployed the engine's fire-suppression system, telling air traffic controllers, 'We have an engine failure and a fire. We're declaring an emergency,' the pilot said, according to an air traffic control recording of the incident."
