Divers searched a large pond while investigators combed nearby woods Saturday for any sign of the pilot of a volunteer Angel Flight that crashed in upstate New York, killing two passengers. The twin-engine Piper PA 34 had departed from Hanscom Field in Bedford, Mass., and was headed to Rome, N.Y., before it crashed just after 5 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said. Witnesses described the destruction that started in the air above Ephratah, a sleepy town of about 700 people. The parking lot of Granny's Ice Cream Shanty, which is less than a mile from the crash site, was filled with emergency vehicles Saturday morning. Owner Joan Dudley told The Associated Press that she and her employees were among the first at the scene Friday night. "We were just leaving to get something to eat, and we heard this noise," Dudley said. We looked up and saw the plane flipping in the air. Then it fell apart," she said. Parts and pieces of it were flying through the sky, and a body fell out. They called 911 as they parked their car and ran to the crash site in the rain to see if they could rescue anyone. "Airplane parts were all over the place," she said. They were picking them up all over last night. Ephratah resident Roger Berry, 75, said he was outside chopping wood when the plane crashed. "When I heard it, I knew something was wrong," Berry said. It was slightly raining with winds of 13 to 14 mph. It was founded in 1996.
