Selfies may be to blame for a small plane crash in the US last year that killed an Indian-origin pilot and his only passenger — a Jalandhar-based synthesiser player, US investigators have found. The plane crashed near Watkins City in Colorado State on a cloudy night last year, probably because the pilot had been taking pictures of himself and his passenger, with a flash, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) in US has concluded. “It is likely that cellphone use during the accident flight distracted the pilot and contributed to the development of spatial disorientation and subsequent loss of control,” it said in a report.
