Missouri Skydiving Crash Under Investigation | Wichita News

Twelve skydivers, including seasoned jumpers, lost their lives in a Missouri plane crash just after takeoff — but new evidence suggests the engine wasn’t to blame. Investigators found the engine was running normally, fuel was adequate, and no mechanical failures were detected. The plane began a sharp left turn, wings nearly vertical, before crashing and exploding. While the NTSB’s final report may take a year, the FAA is already reviewing safety protocols. The skydiving industry insists it follows strict standards — and with millions of jumps safely completed each year, the focus remains on preventing human error.
