France Plane Crash: 11 Killed in Skydiving Accident in Tomblaine

On Sunday, at least 11 people died when a civilian plane carrying skydivers crashed in the French town of Tomblaine, close to Nancy. The aircraft broke apart in the crash, leaving a very sad and damaging scene. Local reports say that three people managed to survive by ejecting from the plane before it crashed.

French media is reporting that among the dead are the pilot, five instructors, and five students. But authorities have not yet made official the identity of the victims. Upon the report of the accident, emergency teams, including firefighters, police, and medical units, rushed to the site and began rescue and recovery operations.

Emergency personnel, including firefighters, police, and medical teams, responded right away to the crash site and began rescue and recovery efforts. The area around Salvador Allende Street was closed off by the police, and we asked that the public stay away, which in turn allowed for free movement of emergency vehicles. Also, we asked that people stay away from the area while the rescue efforts went on.

The accident occurred before takeoff from the airport in Nancy-Essey Aerodrome. After the crash local authorities put into action the emergency operations center for coordination of response, and senior officials went to the site. The cause of the crash is still a mystery. We will see the results of the investigation, which will go over the remains of the plane to determine the causes of the fatal accident.
