Details On Las Vegas Fatal Accident

Six Family Members Dead

The six people killed when a Beechcraft B-36 crashed near the runway at North Las Vegas Airport (NV) Christmas day were all members of the same family. A relative Saturday said Henry and Vivienne Waldman, their daughter and son-in-law Susan and Steven Maini, and two grandchildren -- 12-year-old Jack and 6-year-old Michele Maini -- all died when the Bonanza crashed shortly after takeoff.

Henry Waldman was a 66-year old retired USAF colonel. His son says Waldman was PIC on a day trip to Laughlin (NV) when he reported engine failure minutes into the flight. The FAA says Waldman told the tower he was going to try to make the runway after experiencing the in-flight emergency. Wreckage of the aircraft was found in a concrete wash, about 400 yards short of the strip.

The NTSB is investigating.
