소형 비행기가 테네시주의 칼리지데일 근처에서 이륙직후 추락하여
탑승한 6명 중에 5명이 사망하였다.유일한 생존자는 부조종사이다.
이들이 탑승한 세스나 421번기는 칼리지데일 북쪽 2마일 선상의 파인힐(Pine Hill)과
맥도날드(McDonad) 도로상의 들판에 이륙 직후 곧바로 추락하였다.
비행기는 추락하면서 두동강이 났고, 곧바로 화염에 휩싸였다.
이들은 칼리지데일에서 지역 목회자 모임을 갖고, 낙스빌로 가서 해당
지역의 목회자들과 또 다른 합회 합회장들과의 모임을 가질 예정이었다.
사망한 이는 죠지아 컴벌랜드 합회의 임원, 부장, 직원들로서 아래와 같다.
1. 합회장인 데이브 크레스(Dave Cress) 목사,
2. 총무부장인 짐 프로스트 (Jim Frost) 목사,
3. 홍보부장인 Jamie Arnall,

5. 경비행기 조종사 John Laswell
유일한 생존자인 부조종사 James Huff는 의식을 차리고 비행기에서 빠져
나왔다. 그는 약간 다쳤을 뿐인데, 사고 후 걸어서 인근 주택으로 갔고,
곧바로 Erlanger 의료 센터로 후송되었다. 그의 상태는 양호한 것을
알려졌다. 허프는 재림교인으로서 자원 봉사자 조종사이었다.
죠지아-컴벌랜드 합회는 합회 관할지역이 워낙 방대하여 그동안 경비행기를
합회 임직원들의 출장용으로 사용하였다.
희생자의 가족들과 이들의 동료들을 위하여의 카스다 가족들의 기도를 요청한다.
