7 Kids Among Montana Crash Dead

Share

(AP) – Three California families headed to a retreat for the ultrarich were among the 14 victims of a plane crash in Montana. The three families, with seven children all 9 or younger, made up the 13 passengers; also dead in the crash was the pilot. The families were traveling to the Yellowstone Club near Yellowstone National Park for a skiing vacation.

Bud Feldkamp, who leased the airplane, says Amy Jacobson and Vanessa Pullen, two of the wives, were his daughters, and that Brent Ching, the husband of the other family, was the son of club member Bob Ching.

does the fact that the ultra rich are now dead, make you feel worse, better, or the same? Reply
