The North Carolina CEO who is believed to have been piloting his private jet when it came down on a Washington D.C. suburb killing a mother and her two young sons had crashed a plane in March, 2010, on the same approach.
According to a government official who asked not to be named, Dr. Michael K. Rosenberg missed the runway on his approach to Montgomery County Airpark near to Gaithersburg and crashed his propeller-powered plane into trees.
No one was seriously hurt during that crash but on Monday, Marie Gemmell lost her life shielding her six-week old son, Devin and three-year-old boy, Cole, from the fireball that engulfed her home when Rosenberg's plane crash landed.
