Title

Appleton Estate plane crash

Description

"Police and Civil Aviation Department officials are watched by curious onlookers, as they inspect the wreckage of a twin-engined aircraft which crashed in the cane-fields near the Appleton Estate in St. Elizabeth yesterday morning. There were no signs of any body being injured in the crash, and so far, there has been no trace of the pilot. However, the wreckage has revealed traces of burnt ganja, giving rise to feelings that the aircraft was executing a ganja delivery, when it crashed."
