| 0:00.0 | This segment we wanted to talk about a little bit on the tragic plane crash that happened in Greenwood just yesterday, a plane narrowly missing a Circle K and several other buildings. |
| 0:13.3 | And apparently, according to witnesses, it was thanks to the selfless actions in the final moments of this pilot as she rapidly descended. |
| 0:23.0 | And now we have the name of the pilot who has been identified. |
| 0:27.4 | Her name is Anne to Wyn. |
| 0:29.3 | Officials here tell us she was the only person inside that plane. |
| 0:33.2 | According to her social media, she says she was a B-767 ferry pilot, and she had posted several of her videos on social media, including one just this morning talking about flying from Indiana to Pennsylvania today. |
| 0:46.9 | We've also learned this afternoon she is a Purdue graduate. |
| 0:50.7 | Now, according to the university, Wynn grew up in Vietnam and was always fascinated |
| 0:54.8 | by what she called flying machines, a sky. But she was 12, Purdue said she came to the United |
| 1:00.6 | States and eventually studied math and aerospace engineering at Purdue. They say she also |

| 1:15.3 | And just last year, she became the 10th woman ever to fly solo around the world, according to the |
| 1:21.8 | university. In that final video, she posted really just hours ago, she made a comment about how she was excited to be back in the plane. |
| 1:30.1 | It felt like more than a flight. |
| 1:31.7 | It felt like inspiration and a mission to inspire the next generation of pilots. |
| 1:37.1 | I can't imagine how her family must be feeling. |
| 1:39.5 | What a tragic way to go. |
| 1:41.1 | And again, I want to emphasize the selfless actions that she took in her |
| 1:44.3 | final moments to make sure that that plane, whatever it took, didn't hit that Circle K and become a |
| 1:50.5 | mass casualty incident. It's terrible. You're right. I mean, that shows her skill as a pilot. If you |
| 1:55.9 | saw any of the photos, I mean, literally that plane, she managed to land it crash, I mean, 30 feet from the Circle K. |
| 2:04.4 | And I think there's a Wendy's right next door to that. |
