Saturday about 1430 local time a ZS-registered Seneca crashed on the Beira beach about 2 miles from my house and 4 miles from the airport. 6 people dead. There was no sign of fuel leakage. possibly they ran out of gas? Apparently the plane was coming from Durban. I just checked out the wreckage at close range -it is on the back of a truck at the airport. One tank has some fuel in and the other has none. Both props have two intact blades, one feathered and one not. The people who claimed to see the crash claimed it "fell" leading me to believe it wasn't in a landing attitude.

It looks like the registration was LTX
