Jonathan Rosen finance CEO plane crash update

 

CHAMBLEE, Ga. — We now know more details on what may have caused a small plane to crash on takeoff Friday afternoon killing all four people on board.

 

NTSB investigators held a briefing Sunday afternoon and they were able to confirm that the small, Cessna 210 aircraft crashed on takeoff, the plane had been recently modified via an engine swap and extra fuel onboard contributed to the intense fire after the crash.

 

Channel 2 Action News reporter Steve Gehlbach said investigators removed the charred wreckage of the plane onto a truck Sunday morning. Gehlbach spoke to Daniel Boggs of the NTSB who described what happened.

“(The plane) was on takeoff, 75 feet up in the air and nosed over,” Boggs said.

Boggs said NTSB investigators have already talked to witnesses and are looking at video from nearby businesses that captured the crash. He said the plane did not have a black box to record the flight data or a voice recorder and that investigators will be looking at everything from maintenance records to communications with the control tower.

“We’ll be looking at the weight of the aircraft, looking at the engine, looking at the servicing, qualifications of the pilot,” Boggs said. “We will look at all the parameters.”

 

Channel 2 Action News was able to confirm the identity of the plane’s pilot and owner. Jonathan Rosen, 47, was reportedly flying his 14-year-old niece, another child and a family friend from Atlanta to Houston Friday afternoon. None of them survived the crash.

Rosen was the CEO of Entaire Global Companies and also the chairman of the Jonathan Rosen Foundation which taught financial literacy to children. He was described by family and people that knew him as a “larger than life personality” and someone who impacted and inspired many young lives.

According to his family, Rosen was an accomplished pilot who helped build the modified jet powered propeller on the plane. Investigators said the plane’s original engine was a turbine.

NTSB investigators said the modification added another fuel tank to the plane. They believe it contributed to the intensity of the fire.

“It (the modification) was recently done,” Boggs said. “This is a newer aircraft, newer to this pilot.”

 

Investigators told Gehlbach the initial ground investigation will take another two to three days to complete and the preliminary report will be filed in about two weeks. The NTSB said the full investigative report could take over a year to complete.

NYT issues embarrassing correction after reporting 900,000 children have been hospitalized in US with Covid when true figure is 63,000

 

The New York Times issued a correction on Friday after a reporter said 900,000 children have been hospitalized in the US with Covid-19 when the true figure is a tiny fraction of that: 63,000.

The mistake was made by the Times' health and science reporter Apoorva Mandavilli, who took to Twitter back in May to claim the theory that coronavirus was leaked from a Wuhan lab has 'racist roots'.

'The article misstated the number of Covid hospitalizations in US children. It is more than 63,000 from August 2020 to October 2021, not 900,000 since the beginning of the pandemic,' the correction read.

 

But this wasn't the only error in the article, titled A New Vaccine Strategy For children: Just One Dose, For Now. The piece also 'described incorrectly the actions taken by regulators in Sweden and Denmark'.

'In addition, the article misstated the timing of an FDA meeting on authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for children. It is later this month, not next week,' the liberal paper added.

 

Twitter users weren't too happy by the shoddy reporting, which missed the actual figure of children hospitalized for Covid in the US by 837,000.

A fellow writer responded to the correction and said: 'I see this NYT reporter is meeting her usual standards today.'

'Mandavilli somehow inflated the number of US children hospitalized with the virus to 14 times the actual level,' another user tweeted. 

Others suggested Mandavilli - the 2019 winner of the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting - completely makes up figures, saying she 'provides her own unique version of "focusing on science."'

'You have been called to report to the Hall of Shame. Fauci's waiting for you,' a Twitter user joked while another more hostile reply asked why Mandavilli is still employed.

 

'She blatantly lied and not just a little but by a huge margin. Covid fear spreading sensationalist. She should be out!! Where’s cancel Culture when you really need it?' the tweet read. 

Mandavilli describes herself on the app as a Times reporter who mainly covers the Covid-19 pandemic. 

She sparked widespread outrage earlier this year when she tweeted: 'Someday we will stop talking about the lab leak theory and maybe even admit its racist roots. But alas, that day is not yet here.'

She deleted the tweet about an hour later and admitted that it was 'badly phrased' - and that her own colleagues are investigating the theory.
