Selfies likely contributed to a small plane crash in Colorado last year that killed two people, federal investigators have said. Video footage from a GoPro camera found near the wreckage showed the pilot and passenger taking flash "self-photographs" with their mobile phones prior to the 31 May crash, said a report. The report by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said the phone use likely disoriented the pilot, causing him to lose control of the two-seat Cessna 150 near Denver. "Based on the evidence of cell phone use during low-altitude manoeuvering ... it is likely that cell phone use during the accident flight distracted the pilot and contributed to the development of spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of control," the report said. The cause of the crash was attributed to an aerodynamic stall that preceded the aircraft spinning into the ground, according to the NTSB. KUSA-TV and The Denver Post reported the crash killed 29-year-old pilot Amritpal Singh and his passenger after they took off from Front Range Airport in Adams County. The wreckage was found about a mile west of the airport. Source: Sky News
