Talk about it

ROCHESTER, Minn. - The FAA has started to investigate the crash landing of a plane that was heading to Rochester, Minnesota from Green Bay – where the four people inside had attended Sunday’s Packer-Viking game.

The pilot, 23-year-old Scott Lebovitz of Owatonna, Minnesota, escaped injury. His three passengers were all taken to a hospital for treatment of bumps-and-bruises. They were a nine-year-old boy and two men ages 36-and-38, all from Byron Minnesota.

Authorities said the aircraft missed a runway while landing in heavy fog at Rochester’s airport on Sunday night. Officials said the plane bounced, and then flipped over in a field before landing on its top. The pilot was able to call 911.
