A reporter on Boston 25 News covering a local plane crash reported the remarks by a local man attributing the cause to a faulty part. You'll never believe what that part was. The crash took place after a Cessna 182 had dropped Skydivers and returned to Cranland Airport near Boston. The plane overran the runway and flipped over after hitting a ditch. The 20-year-old pilot was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The FAA is investigating.
