The widow of an aerospace engineer killed in a plane crash in November 2022 is suing the companies involved in manufacturing the aircraft after its right wing fell off mid-flight. On the morning of Nov. 18, 2022, 33-year-old Nathan Precup and three other people were killed when a Cessna 208B EX Caravan, on lease to Raisbeck Engineers, crashed in a field and then caught on fire near Harvey Airfield in Snohomish County. Investigation revealed that the plane’s right wing fell off mid-air and “plummeted to the ground where it suffered substantial damage and then caught fire,” according to the lawsuit. All four people on board died in the crash. The wrongful death and product defect lawsuit, filed by Precup’s wife, Danielle Martin, in King County Superior Court, alleges that the aircraft was “not reasonably safe in design." It names Textron, Ace Aviation, Mistequay Group and Raisbeck Engineering as defendants. It questions the aircraft's integrity and aims to hold Textron Aviation — Cessna's parent company — responsible for flaws the lawsuit claims led to the four deaths.
