Death toll in Virginia plane crash climbs to six
The plane touched down halfway along the runway, pulled up and executed a maneuver known as a "go-round," but the engines appeared to stall as the pilot tried to turn and climb, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said in a statement. Six bodies were recovered from the wreckage including the remains of the pilot, William Hamerstadt, 64, of Carmel, Indiana, and the plane's owner, Robert D. Ross, 73, of Louisville, Kentucky.
