Five Ministers Die In Plane Crash Save Email Print

A | A | A

(September 3, 2007)--A plane carrying five Jehovah's Witness ministers has crashed in a remote area of eastern Tennessee, killing all aboard.

The Saturday morning crash wasn't discovered until more than eight hours later when another pilot spotted the wreckage.

Authorities had to clear a path Sunday to get to the crash site in the Cherokee National Forest on Holston Mountain.

Officials say five bodies were found.

One of the ministers was believed to be the pilot.

The single-engine plane crashed after taking off from Elizabethton, Tenn., bound for Abingdon, Va., about 40 miles away, where they were to discuss building a new Kingdom Hall.

A Jehovah's Witness elder said the ministers were all from eastern Tennessee.
