Father and son were touring colleges by plane when two young sisters die inside home
Friday morning a father and his teenaged son, from Medina, WA, who were touring colleges crashed a plane into a house in East Haven, Connecticut. Two young sisters inside the home were also killed; 13-year-old Sade Brantley and 1-year-old Madisyn Mitchell, when the house burst into flames after the turbo twin-engine prop aircraft crashed into it.
Relatives of the pilot told NBC New York the father and son had been flying toward Tweed-New Haven Airport when the plane went down a few blocks north. They were touring eight colleges, including Yale in New Haven.
"Tonight's vigil is a profound statement of the ties that bind East Haven and our entire state together as one community. When a family suffers an unimaginable tragedy, we come together and pray that they have the strength they need to carry on."
