A surveillance camera from a Greenville business captured a jet crash at the Greenville Downtown airport that killed two people.


The Falcon 50 jet crashed Thursday about 1:40 p.m., killing the pilot and co-pilot and injuring two passengers, officials said.

John Christian Caswell, 49, of Port St. Lucie, Florida, and the co-pilot Stephen George Fox, 66, of Indian Rocks, Florida, died when the 12-passenger private jet crashed during landing.

The two passengers who were taken to the hospital are in serious condition.

The plane went off a runway, through a fence and down about a 200-foot safety area that includes a fairly steep embankment.

It then crashed onto Airport Road and broke apart.

The airport's director, Joe Frasher, said the plane slammed into the ground nose first and the fatalities and injuries were caused by blunt-force trauma from the impact.

Frasher said the jet was coming from Tampa and Greenville was the final destination.

Both of the pilots had more than 5,000 hours of flight time.

The NTSB has been in Greenville since the crash, studying the plane before it goes to a salvage company in Georgia.
