A Tragic Plunge: Parents and Son Perish in Swiss Plane Crash
Aircraft collision in Switzerland claims lives of three individuals
In a chilling tragedy, a Danish family meets its end in a small plane crash while returning from Switzerland. A lawyer couple and their son, renowned members of their firm, lost their lives in a seemingly unexpected incident.
Hailing from Denmark, this brought-together family embarked on their return journey from Switzerland in a single-engine propeller plane. Sadly, the plane crashed soon after takeoff, spiraling into a blazing inferno. The family of three was consumed by the flames, thus meeting their untimely demise.
The victims were none other than Line M. and Andreas C., distinguished members of law firm Horten, and their son, who together had contributed over 20 years to the firm. The firm, in a statement, conveyed their profound shock and grief following the unfortunate accident.
The plane originated from Denmark on March 13, headed for Roskilde while departing from Samedan airport just a few kilometers away from Davos. The fatal incident occurred about 25 kilometers southeast of Davos, only two minutes after taking off from La Punt-Chamues-ch. The crash site saw the plane reduced to ashes, with no injuries reported on the ground.
The reason behind the catastrophic crash remains unknown, as the authorities delve into the investigation. A witness reportedly observed the plane spinning around its own axis before it smashed into the ground and erupted in a massive fireball.
Switzerland's law enforcement agencies, including the Swiss Attorney General's Office, the Swiss Transport Safety Investigation Board (STSB), the Graubünden public prosecutor’s office, the Federal Criminal Police, and the Graubünden cantonal police, are collaborating to unravel the mystery. Speculations hint at a potential collision with a power line, though this remains unconfirmed.
The small propeller plane, a Extra EA-400, took to the skies from Samedan airfield at 5:20 PM on Monday, March 18, 2025, heading towards Roskilde, Denmark. Tragically, it came crashing down two minutes later, engulfing the family within its never-ending flames [2][4][5]. The tight-knit community mourns the loss of these influential individuals, extending their heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family [3].
