A tragic aircraft accident in the United States has claimed twelve lives, reportedly including a young Telugu professional, who had recently started his career in America, according to reports from his close friends. The unfortunate incident happened on Sunday.
A Pacific Aerospace P750 skydiving aircraft crashed shortly after taking off from Butler Memorial Airport (located about 60 miles south of Kansas City). The Missouri State Highway Patrol and local emergency management officials confirmed that all 12 individuals on board, comprising 11 skydivers and the pilot died on spot.
As the news unfolded, close friends on social media shared the devastating update that Datla Sai Karthik Varma, a native of the Bhimavaram District in Andhra Pradesh, India, was among those who lost their lives in the crash.
