NTSB blames pilot error for fatal plane crash that killed Gwen Shamblin and Joe Lara.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its final report on the small plane crash that killed weight-loss guru Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband, actor Joe Lara, and six others in Tennessee in March 2021. The report suggests that the crash was likely caused by pilot error, as Joe Lara became disoriented in heavy clouds and experienced spatial disorientation. The crash was not caused by any mechanical malfunctions or medical conditions. Witnesses reported seeing the plane enter a steep, descending left turn before crashing into Percy Priest Lake.

NTSB attributes Gwen Shamblin's plane crash to pilot's spatial disorientation.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released a report stating that the plane crash that killed Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband Joe Lara, and six others in Tennessee in May 2021 was caused by the pilot's "spatial disorientation." The pilot lost control of the Cessna 501 during a climb due to somatogravic illusion, a type of spatial disorientation that occurs when pilots have unreliable or unavailable external visual references. The report noted that the pilot likely did not effectively use his instrumentation during takeoff and climb. The recovered wreckage showed no signs of mechanical issues.

NTSB blames pilot's spatial disorientation for crash killing diet guru and others.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released its final report on the small plane crash that killed weight-loss guru Gwen Shamblin Lara and six others in Tennessee. The report suggests that the crash was caused by pilot error, as her husband, who was piloting the plane, became disoriented in heavy clouds. The maneuvering is consistent with a type of spatial disorientation called somatogravic illusion, and it likely caused the pilot to perceive that the airplane was pitching up even though it was actually in a continuous descent. The pilot was rated to fly with instruments only, but he struggled when forced to rely on instruments in low visibility and while using the plane’s autopilot.
