Air tanker 'heavily fragmented' after deadly Utah crash, federal investigators say
Jun 6th 2012, 18:44

SALT LAKE CITY –  A National Transportation Safety Board investigator is at the scene of a deadly air tanker crash in Utah, scouring a 600-yard debris field for clues about why the plane went down while battling a wildfire.

NTSB spokesman Nicholas Worrell says the investigator is expected to spend much of Tuesday at the remote site in a canyon of southwestern Utah.

The Lockheed P2V crashed Sunday, killing two pilots — the same day another firefighting plane of the same vintage was forced to make a crash landing at Minden-Tahoe Airport in Nevada.

Worrell says another NTSB investigator is inspecting that P2V's landing gear. A videotape shows the plane dropping to its belly and sliding across a runway. No one was injured.
