Father Dies Protecting 11-year-old Daughter During Plane Crash
A commuter plane crashed on a Lake Michigan island and killed members of a family. An 11-year-old girl is the sole survivor of the crash. The girl remembered her dad protecting her as the aircraft crash-landed, her mother said.Â
"It's her last memory before the crash," Christina Perdue said in a statement. Her daughter Laney was in stable condition Sunday afternoon at a children's hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
The crash took place on Saturday at the Welke Airport on Beaver Island in the far northern part of Lake Michigan that killed everyone else who was aboard the twin-engine Britton-Norman BN-2 aircraft. Perdue's husband Mike was one of them.
"We are heartbroken with the loss of my husband, a father, brother, son and friend. He gave the best bear hugs, and I believe he grabbed our daughter and protected her. Our prayers are also with our island community and the other souls lost in the accident."
According to a report by ABC News, the Island Airways aircraft was landing at the airport when the crash took place, according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration
A helicopter crew from the Coast Guard Great Lakes was in the area when the crash took place and responded to an emergency call from the island. The crew took the child and a male adult, who initially survived the crash, to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, Coast Guard officials said. Â
However, the male adult was pronounced dead at the hospital. Chest compressions were performed on the girl while the crew took her to the hospital.
