John Murphy and his son Josiah Murphy were both piloting their plane when it crashed in Manchester, Vermont Wednesday morning.

“I’m pretty sure we were all in agreeance, we were about to die,” said Josiah.

The Murphys were flying from Baltimore, Maryland to Rutland, Vermont to go skiing in Killington when their plane started icing up.

“I don’t remember reading anywhere in there that they talk about how fast icing can happen. I mean, it was within minutes the plane was unflyable,” John said.

The single engine Piper manufactured plane crashed on Mt. Equinox. All three on board survived.

The two returned to the crash site on Friday to meet with the FAA and retrieve their belongings from the plane.

“As soon as I pulled into this valley and seen that mountain, I had a whole lot of anxiety, you know, I since it’s happened, I still haven’t slept. Every time I close my eyes; I see that mountain in front of me,” said John.

The two recalling those final moments before the crash.

“I picked my spot, and I just tried to match the grade of the mountain as we climbed. And I just pulled back and I just followed the gray to those trees until I stalled. 56 miles an hour. I stalled into the trees. Luckily, you know, we went right between two trees. It ripped the wings off,” said John.

Everyone on board sustained minor injuries.

“My daughter. Not a scratch. My precious little girl. Just not a tiny little scratch and a little whiplash,” said John.

John and Josiah required a few stitches but have now been released from the hospital.

The two also were thanking the first responders who responded to the scene by air and by climbing the mountains with snowshoes.
