Palm Beach Plane Crash Did ATC Send Pilots the Wrong Way?!?
Source: TMZ
The pilots of the private jet that crashed in Florida were told they could turn left, but not right ... and one aviation expert says turning the other way may have been the better move.
Corporate pilot and meteorologist JP Dice joined "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... telling Harvey and Charles that air traffic control gave the crew permission to veer left, but warned them against turning right because of other aircraft in the area.
Here's the problem ... Dice says the weather was actually worse to the left, while turning right could've given the pilots a better path through the storm.
He explained pilots generally have to follow air traffic control's instructions ... but in dangerous conditions, they can declare an emergency and change course, with controllers then working to move other aircraft out of the way.
