The 9 people who were killed when a plane went down in South Dakota on Saturday were all part of a prominent Idaho family that lost members of 4 generations in the crash.
Three other family members were hospitalized in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, after the Pilatus PC-12, a single-engine turboprop passenger plane, went down shortly after takeoff from Chamberlain Municipal Airport. Those injured are expected to fully recover, according to Brule County State's Attorney Theresa Maule Rossow.
The area of the crash was under a winter storm warning, and visibility near the airport was extremely low, the National Weather Service had warned at the time. The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, was not immediately able to send a crew to the scene due to stormy conditions but investigators were expected to be on the ground Monday.
Hansen family spokesman Jeff Walbom on Sunday thanked the community for messages of support and prayers. He asked that donations be directed to The Caring Hands Mission, Kyäni’s foundation focused on bringing nutrition, sanitation and education to children in need. "Most people will never know just how much good the Hansen family has done. The city of Idaho Falls is a better place because of them," Idaho Falls resident Darin Skidmore wrote on Facebook."I believe God puts people like them on the earth to help people like me, and you. The loss of these great men will never be recovered. God bless their legacy, their memory."
