Gordonville, TX — A small plane crashed near the Oklahoma-Texas border this past Friday (March 29, 2015), leaving four people injured. Police with the Texas DPS didn’t release a lot of information, but said that a pilot and three passengers were injured after their small white plane crashed into a house in Gordonville.
The small Beechcraft B35 airplane was apparently flying near the Gordonviille area at about 4:00 p.m. this past Sunday afternoon when something went wrong and the pilot, Robert Gentry, lost control. The plane then crashed into a local home, going through the roof and leaking fuel everywhere.
A small fire started and the homeowners quickly helped the passengers and pilot out of the plane. All four were taken to a hospital, but their conditions weren’t released. The news also said that the small plane had just taken off from Cedar Mills Airport.
Update: The passengers in the plane crash have been identified as Karen Christian, 51, Annie Gentry, 17, and Collin Howell, 14. The pilot, Robert Gentry, was also injured.

Commentary:
I won’t claim to know a lot more information than what the news has already released, but one thing I would be concerned about here is a defect or a malfunction on the plane itself. I realize that a lot of things can cause a plane to crash, but if there was something wrong with the craft itself, then the owner of the plant (or the manufacturer) might incur liability.
