Even days later, nobody can explain why a plane crashed in Zell am See and an Italian died. There are still many unanswered questions. A local inspection by the "Krone" at the airfield in Pinzgau.

There is still a sense of bewilderment: a pilot died in an accident at the public airfield in Zell am See on Tuesday afternoon. He crashed into a meadow just a few meters from the runway. Nothing can be seen of the crash site. Only one thing quickly becomes clear during a local inspection: the accident could have affected others - a busy road and a footpath and cycle path crosses in front of the runway.
