dontskipit, this might be way off
http://olivosp.wikispaces.com/Samantha+Smith
a paragrah that has the key elements of what u r searching, maybe?
On a return flight from filming a segment for Lime Street in the summer of 1985, Smith's plane missed the runway of the Lewiston-Auburn Regional Airport in Auburn, Maine by 200 yards and crashed, killing all aboard (six passengers and two crew), including Smith and her father. Much speculation regarding the cause of the accident circulated afterwards. An investigation was undertaken in the USA and the official report, which did not show evidence of foul play, was made public. As stated in the report, the accident occurred at about 22:05 EDT, the ground impact point located one mile south-west of the airport. The report goes on to say, "The relatively steep flight path angle and the attitude (the orientation of the aircraft relative to the horizon, direction of motion etc.) and speed of the airplane at ground impact precluded the occupants from surviving the accident." The main point of the report was that it was a rainy night, the pilots were inexperienced, and an accidental, but not uncommon and not usually critical, ground radar failure occurred. The plane used for the fatal flight was a Bar Harbor Airlines Beechcraft 99.
Samantha Smith was mourned by about 1,000 people at her funeral in Augusta, Maine, including Vladimir Kulagin of the Soviet Embassy in Washington, who read a personal message of condolence from Mikhail Gorbachev. President Reagan sent his condolences to Samantha Smith's mother, writing,
"Perhaps you can take some measure of comfort in the knowledge that millions of Americans, indeed millions of people, share the burdens of your grief. They also will cherish and remember Samantha, her smile, her idealism and unaffected sweetness of spirit."
She and her father were buried near Houlton, where she was born.
