On Sunday, March 11th, a small plane crashed into a wooded area near Virginia's western border. The crash occurred at the Ingalls Field Airport in Hot Springs, Virginia around 3 p.m., killing all five people on board including one child and four adults. According to reports from multiple sources, the twin-engine IAI Astra 1125 crashed short of its approach to the runway after striking trees and then a hillside before igniting in flames.
The crash was not initially set to land at Ingalls Field Airport as it had been scheduled for landing at Ingall's Field. The flight originated from Fort Lauderdale, FL and was headed towards Virginia. However, the plane crashed below the runway due to a short approach during its descent.
The crash investigation is ongoing with multiple agencies involved including Virginia State Police, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and Bath County Sheriff's Office. The names of the victims have not been released yet but it has been confirmed that there were four adults and one child on board the aircraft at the time of crash.
The incident is a tragic reminder of how dangerous flying can be, even for experienced pilots. It also highlights the importance of proper training, maintenance and adherence to safety protocols in aviation.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that a twin jet reported needing to make an emergency landing right before the crash. However, this information was not provided by any official source and should be treated as speculative at best. Secondly, the article states that five people were killed in the crash: one child and four adults. This is incorrect as there are only four victims according to Virginia State Police who told Fox News Digital that five people died in the crash.
The statement 'a twin jet reported needing to make an emergency landing right before the crash' is not supported by any official source and should be treated as speculative at best.

Bias
(75%)
The article contains a statement that the twin jet reported needing to make an emergency landing right before the crash. This is an example of bias because it implies that there was something inherently wrong with the plane's flight path and suggests that it may have been due to human error or negligence, rather than just a mechanical failure.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive because it does not provide any details about the cause of the crash or the identity of the victims. It also uses emotional language such as 'bursting into flames' and 'died at the scene' to manipulate readers into feeling sympathy for those involved, without giving any context or background information. The article is one-sided in reporting only what happened, not why it happened or how common such incidents are.
The article does not disclose that Hot Springs is a small town with limited air traffic and that the crash was likely an isolated incident. This omission creates a false impression of danger and risk for readers who may assume that plane crashes are more frequent than they actually are.
The article does not provide any information about the pilot's qualifications or experience, or whether he had any mechanical issues with his aircraft. These details could help readers understand why the crash occurred and what precautions were taken to prevent it.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy when it reports that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the incident. The FAA is a government agency responsible for overseeing aviation in the United States, while the NTSB is an independent federal agency tasked with investigating transportation incidents. While these agencies may have expertise in their respective fields, they are not infallible and their findings should be taken with a grain of salt.

The article is deceptive because it does not provide any evidence or sources for the claim that the plane was not initially set to land at Ingalls Field Airport. This could be a lie by omission or a misleading statement intended to create confusion about the cause of the crash. The author also uses emotional language such as 'crash', 'dead' and 'short on its approach' to manipulate the reader's feelings and senses, without providing any context or explanation for what happened. Additionally, the article does not disclose that it is quoting from official statements or sources, which could be biased or incomplete. The author also omits important details such as why the plane was flying from Fort Lauderdale to Ingalls Field Airport, and whether there were any weather conditions or technical issues that could have contributed to the crash.
The article does not provide any evidence for its claim that 'the flight had been scheduled to land at Ingall's Field'. This is a deceptive statement because it implies that the plane was following a normal route and plan, when in fact we do not know where it was headed or why. It could be possible that the plane was diverted for some reason, or that there were other factors involved in the crash. By omitting this information, the author is creating confusion and doubt among the readers.
The article does not disclose its sources of information when quoting from official statements such as 'The plane was short on its approach to the runway, struck the trees and then the hillside'. This is a deceptive practice because it could mean that the author is relying on unverified or biased accounts, which could be inaccurate or incomplete. The readers cannot trust what they are reading if they do not know where it comes from.
The article does not explain why the plane was flying from Fort Lauderdale to Ingalls Field Airport, and whether there were any weather conditions or technical issues that could have contributed to the crash.
