HARRISON, OH( FOX19)-- The FAA/ NTSB will be on the scene investigating a plane crash that killed two people Friday evening.

Police say that a home built Steen Skybolt, Bi-plane took off from the Harrison Airport a short time after 8:00pm. According to witnesses, the plane began a steep climb near the end of the runway, then pitched to the left and nosedived. The aircraft crashed a quarter of a mile from the end of the runway near the Harrison High School bus garage...

Very sad, but apparently the pilot did a fabulous job of steering the plane away from the stadium so as not to hurt anyone else. I had actually gone to the game initially, but changed my mind at the gate and went and got something to eat because it was just a scrimmage.
