The victims have been identified as Liron Petrushka, a former professional soccer player, and his wife Naomi Petrushka. The couple had been living in California for the past few years.

The incident occurred when they were attempting to land at Truckee Tahoe airport shortly after 6.30pm on Saturday. The plane, a single-engine TBM aircraft registered as N960LP, departed from Centennial airport in Denver, Colorado, earlier that day at about 4.20pm.

The tragic incident has left the tech industry and the soccer community in shock and mourning. The impact of their contributions and accomplishments will be remembered by those who knew them. As the investigation continues, the cause of the crash remains unknown, but officials are committed to finding answers for the grieving families and the aviation community at large.
