Witness Dean Cameron was on a fishing trip near the site of the crash, when he heard a plane “roaring” engine “really, really close” and originally thought it was a plane doing acrobatics.
“I thought it was weird, it sounded like it was on us, the noise it made was like a plane coming out of a dive,” Cameron said.
“It was really loud, it was roaring,” he said, and believes the engine cut out. When he later saw news reports about the incident, he realised what had happened, describing the realisation as an “eerie” feeling.
“We definitely heard the plane going down,” he said.
