New report sheds more light on Michigan basketball team plane crash

Nearly 900 pages of documents attempt to explain a decision a pilot made in 13 seconds.

The National Transportation Safety Board released a report last week as part of its ongoing investigation into the plane that was supposed to take the Michigan men's basketball team to the 2017 Big Ten Tournament last March 8.

Instead, the takeoff was aborted before the plane got off the ground at Ypsilanti's Willow Run Airport, with the Boeing MD-83 eventually plowing through a chain-link fence and into a ditch.

There were 116 people on board, including crew, but the only injury was to eventual Big Ten Tournament MVP Derrick Walton, Jr.
