Austin Anderson, (27) Garrett Coble, (29), Stephen Luth, (22) and Hannah Luce (22) were all passengers on their way to the last Acquire The Fire event in Council Bluffs, Iowa in a twin engine Cessna 401 being piloted by Luke Sheets (23) on Friday. NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said that the pilot got permission to descend to a lower altitude and then the tower lost contact with the pilot. The Kansas Highway Patrol said that shortly afterwards, the plane landed in a field, skidded 200 feet and hit a tree line, catching on fire. The crash occurred about nine miles west of Chanute, Kansas.
Coble, Luth and Sheets were killed in the crash. Austin Anderson, a decorated Marine who served two tours in Iraq, was critically injured, but he managed to pull Luce from the wreckage. He died from his injuries in a hospital in Wichita early the next morning.
Hannah, the daughter of Teen Mania Ministries founder Ron Luce, is in serious but stable condition in a hospital in Kansas City with burns to 28% of her body.
Please join me in praying for the families of these five young people.
