Tennessee plane crash survivor reveals how he emerged 'without a scratch' when aircraft fell from sky
A survivor of the ill-fated skydiving plane that plunged to the ground in Tennessee has spoken out about the horrifying moment he saw his life flash before his eyes. Twenty people were on board the de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter when an 'unknown issue' caused the wreck on Sunday afternoon. The 58-year-old aircraft came down shortly after taking off from the Tullahoma Regional Airport at around 12:30pm. The dramatic crash left witnesses stunned and survivors scrambling. 'It literally flipped a tree and crashed, hit a tree, spun and crashed into the side of their property,' Marge Janiak, who watched the chaos unfold, told Good Morning America. Footage from the Tullahoma scene, about 60 miles south of Nashville, showed the plane nose-dived into the grass with its backend completely ripped off. A wing snapped off and the impact sent debris flying around the area, about 1,000 feet from the end of a runway. Flight trackers reveal the aircraft circled the airport multiple times before disaster struck. Fuller urged his followers to keep those hospitalized in their thoughts and prayers on social media Miraculously, everyone on the flight survived. Three victims were airlifted to Nashville-area hospitals, while four others were sent to local medical centers, Quick said at a press conference. Victims with minor injuries were treated onsite. The crash damaged no airport facilities. 'We are grateful that the injuries were limited,' Lyle Russel, the Community Engagement Officer of the city of Tullahoma, said. Skydiving instructor Justin Fuller, who was on the doomed flight, broke his silence on Facebook, reflecting on the traumatizing events. 'I just wanted to make a post and reach out to everyone and let y'all know I'm ok. I was on the plane,' Fuller, an employee of Skydive Tennessee, began his post. 'I got lucky and came out without a scratch. I will have more information later.' In a follow-up statement, he urged his followers to keep those hospitalized in their thoughts and prayers. 'And keep our pilot at the top of the list. He saved everyone on board and has the longest road to recovery out of all of us. Yesterday was a day I won't soon forget,' he said. Skydive Tennessee, the organization that managed the flight - also commended the pilot's bravery. A federal investigation is underway after a skydiving plane carrying 20 people plunged to the ground in Tennessee, injuring multiple people. @ReporterFaith details the latest. — Good Morning America (@GMA) June 9, 2025 The 58-year-old aircraft came down shortly after taking off from the Tullahoma Regional Airport at around 12:30pm One Alabama woman, Ashley Griffice, claimed her uncle was on the small plane during the crash, sharing an update on his health on Facebook 'We are incredibly grateful for the quick actions of our pilot, whose response likely prevented a far more serious outcome,' a spokesperson wrote to WKRN.
