A Beechcraft V35 plane crashed in Franklin, Tennessee, resulting in the deaths of all three people on board. Unlike most single-engine plane crashes, this incident involved the aircraft breaking apart in the sky. Authorities received reports of an explosion, believed to be the crash. Federal investigators are now examining the wreckage for answers. The V35 departed from Louisiana Regional Airport and was en route to Louisville, Kentucky. The plane was owned by Dr. Lucius Doucet, a plastic surgeon from Baton Rouge, who also lost his life in the accident, according to JALOPNIK.

The names of the two additional victims in the crash have not been verified. The National Transportation Safety Board is conducting an investigation. 

Local officials are unsure of the exact location of the incident. The crash site covers about half a mile, with debris scattered in residential areas, but luckily, there have been no reports of property damage.
