- A special agent with the FBI said “nothing nefarious was involved.” However the accident occurred when an airplane hobbyist lost control of the airplane during flight.
- The hobbyist was arrested, released and warned not to fly any model aircraft near the power plant again.
From the article:
“He allowed the police and FBI to review video footage from the plane, which showed 10 minutes of aerial views of Seaside Park and around two minutes of footage of the power plant and the surrounding area before showing the plane spiraling out of control.”
