Air crash at Lake Attersee: Rescue is difficult

A propeller aircraft crashed into the Attersee lake near Steinbach on Wednesday, resulting in the deaths of two German citizens aged 19 and 24. Rescue efforts are proving challenging as the wreckage lies at a depth of 160 meters. Fire department commander Wolfgang Hufnagl explained that securing the two-seater P2002JFS with ropes is a complex task. The operation was initially delayed due to high wave activity during the night, but favorable weather conditions were reported in the morning. The crash site was located approximately 300 meters from shore early Wednesday evening. Investigations into the cause of the accident are being conducted by the State Criminal Office of Upper Austria in collaboration with the federal safety investigation office, while the prosecutor’s office in Wels has commissioned an expert witness.
