One person is dead following a fatal accident on a Missouri lake yesterday. An experimental amphibious aircraft flipped while attempting to land on Table Rock Lake outside of Kemberling City on Tuesday, killing the sole occupant. Yesterday was also not a good day for aircraft operated by Delta Air Lines. According to preliminary NTSB reports filed today, Delta was involved in three incidents, including a mishap during maintenance which ended in an aircraft sliding down an embankment and a bird strike. No passengers or occupants were injured during any.
