‘Selfies’ linked to deadly plane Denver plane crash, NTSB says
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Federal investigators say selfies were a likely factor in a small plane crash near Denver last year that killed two people.
The National Transportation Safety Board says recordings from a GoPro camera found near the wreckage show the pilot and a passenger were taking flash "self-photographs" with their cellphones before the May 31 crash.
An NTSB report released Friday said cellphone use likely disoriented the pilot and he lost control of the plane. It says the cause of the crash was probably an aerodynamic stall and that the aircraft spun into the ground.
