Daytona (EON) – A plane crash occured at the Vectren Daytona Air Show which killed stunt pilot Jim LeRoy on Saturday in front of a very large crowd of people.

The National Transportation Safety Board has taken over the government investigation into the crash. They are looking at safety concerns such as how close the fire engines and such were to where the plans were doing their stunts. Many in the crowd stated that the fire engines were off too far in the distance to be of any immediate help if a crash such as this took place, which it unfortunately did.

The NTSB usually concludes their investigation in a matter of months so it will be awhile before it is all known. Airport spokesman declined to speak on the crash on Sunday.

The coroner’s conclusion is also going to help the matter is it will be able to figure out how long it took for the fire rescue personnel to get to the pilot LeRoy. The report according to Mark Carpenter, the airport’s fire rescue manager, was that fire trucks were there within one minute. Many in the crowd though say it was more like 3 or 4 minutes.
