Speaking to https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/pearland-regional-airport-plane-crash-video/285-6def4802-3fdf-46c3-ab20-9a29a6e67ba8 local media, Flake said the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing after an electrical fault. "First the headsets went out, then the radio, then the avionics " Flake said. "We knew we had to get down quickly." "With no way to communicate, the pilot ahead was unaware of our presence and braked hard to make a left turn on the tarmac. With our flaps not operational, we couldn't slow fast enough and plowed into his plane at high speed as he turned," Flake https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/pearland-regional-airport-plane-crash-video/285-6def4802-3fdf-46c3-ab20-9a29a6e67ba8 added.
