Phenom 100 Impacts Home In Gaithersburg, MD

Six Fatally Injured In The Accident Including Three In The Structure

A Phenom 100 with three people on board went down on approach to Montgomery County Airpark Monday and impacted a home near the airport. The accident resulted in the fatal injury of the three on board the aircraft and three people in the house, including two small children.

Fox News reports that the people fatally injured on the ground were a mother and two of her three children. They have been identified as 36-year-old Marie Gemmell and her two sons, 3-year-old Cole and a 1-month-old Devon. They were found in a second-floor bedroom. Gemmell's husband and a daughter were not at home at the time of the accident, and have been accounted for, according to the report.

One of the people on board the airplane was Dr. Michael Rosenberg, the founder and CEO of a clinical research organization, according to authorities. Rosenberg was a pilot, but it is not known if he was flying the Phenom when it went down. Rosenberg had been involved in another accident at Gaithersburg in 2010, according to Fox News.

The NTSB dispatched a "Go" Team to the accident scene. In a news conference Monday evening, NTSB member Robert Sumwalt said that the airplane was on a GPS instrument approach to runway 14. The aircraft had departed from Chapel Hill, NC earlier that day. The aircraft was registered to Sage Aviation of Chapel Hill.

Sumwalt said that the Phenom was equipped with a combined flight data and cockpit voice recorder, which has been recovered from the wreckage. It has already been shipped to NTSB headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Sumwalt said that the NTSB will be on the scene as many as seven days.
