Close to my home Airport and maybe 80 miles north of the Canada/USA boarder, around 400 miles north of Minot.
A family of 5 asked a favor of the local flight instructor to take them for flight in a potential buy. At 2500 AGL the engine failed( later to be determined ice in fuel line)
Just some details not in the story

Re: Plane crash. With a happy ending.
Good job on the pilots part.... Shedding the right wing and landing gear probably got rid of ALOT of energy.....
