    Hamptons GA Crash

    CBS 880 reporting a twin engine Cessna crashed in the Hamptons today with only the pilot onboard, killing him. Can't find any details online yet.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    It crashed along Main St, pilot died no reports of where it left from or where it took off from. They did report it did not take off from East Hampton airport.

    Today's Post says he may have been flying from Georgia to Maine, but it's unclear because he did not file a flight plan.

    Pilot Killed In LI Plane Crash Was On First Flight

    AP
    Oct 25, 2005 7:14 am US/Eastern
    (1010 WINS) EAST HAMPTON, Long Island The plane that crashed in East Hampton, Long Island over the weekend had been bought in Georgia and was being flown home to Nantucket, Massachussetts. The pilot - 50-year-old William Holdgate of Nantucket was killed in the crash Sunday afternoon in the middle of East Hampton.

    His family says Holdgate bought the twin-engine Cessna 411 several months ago and had traveled to Georiga to fly it home.

    Holdgate owned a construction company in Nantucket and had been a pilot for about ten years.

    An investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board says they found a three to four inch hole in the crank case of the left engine - but it's not clear if that happened before or after the crash.
