There has been speculation that an unsecured cargo door might have caused the crash … although no callers mentioned seeing anything to that effect.
As we previously reported, the Dec. 18 tragedy took the lives of 55-year-old Biffle, his wife Cristina, his two children, 14-year-old Emma and 5-year-old Ryder, and three others — Craig Wadsworth and Dennis and Jack Dutton.
The scene was captured on nearby security cameras … showing the plane in flames as it made contact with the ground.
