Here's a bad translation.Cause for deadly plane crash yet unclearlyTwo days after the plane crash at a show-organization in Blaubeuren (Alb-Donau-Kreis) the accident cause is yet unclear. The pilot died while its airplane only 250 burned out meter of the spectators removed. Fire department man deletes crashed little airplane in Blaubeuren "we determine into all directions", said a speaker of the police in Ulm. The so named Tragflügler would be examined of expert on technical defective there. As a Tragflügler, a flight device is designated, that functions half like a helicopter and half like an areas airplane. Also a possible pilot mistake could not be excluded. The police questions further eyewitnesses and analyzes also amateur filming that exist. At the killed pilot, it concerns a 52-year-old man out of the room Lucerne in Switzerland. It should a learned pilot and even as a flight teacher been active be. Of a postmortem, the investigators hope for themselves recognitions further. Spectator in danger after eyewitness report the airplane had not fallen in the ascent suddenly like a stone into the depth. About 1,000 visitors had come to the flight show in order to see the demonstrations with art flight, Federal Armed Forces-Helikoptern and Oldtimern. After information of flight leader Dieter Wiedmann, a danger existed for the spectators to no moment. The airplane had moved direction appropriate for in the flight zone expelled for such demonstrations. The sail flight sports group out of Blaubeuren had become in the past year of German masters in the sail flight, attracted that flight day above all visitor out of the region. Russ
