The captain advised the controller that the aircraft was descending through 13,200 feet for 11,000 feet. The controller assigned a 285-degree heading to intercept the ILS for runway 28L and cleared Flight 6291 to 10,000 feet. An updated weather report was at 23:15, reporting a cloud overcast above the ground, visibility miles in light snow and fog with wind 300 degrees at 4 knots. A runway 28L ILS approach clearance was given when the flight passed the SUMIE final approach fix. A clearance to land on 28L was given two minutes later. The aircraft was descending through an altitude of when the stick shaker activated and sounded for 3 seconds. After 1.5 seconds, the stick shaker sounded again. The aircraft continued to descend below the glide slope until it collided with a stand of trees in a high nose-up attitude. It came to rest upright in a commercial building, short of the runway. After the impact, a fire started in or near the left engine, which spread to the rest of the aircraft. At least four of the passengers survived the crash, however, only three escaped before the aircraft was fully engulfed in flames.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1350&dat=19941214&id=MVdPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=XQMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6688,4500421 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Atlantic Coast Airlines Flight 6291」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
