Call me craxy, but I wouldn't fly over a place called the Great Dismal Swamp - sounds like famous last words, or just asking for trouble. You'll notice planes never crash in a place called Happy Daisy Field...
It says the plane had twin propellers. Wonder how many engines it had? That might be the problem.
Condolences.

Small Plane Crashes in Florida Swamp
Four people were killed when a small plane crashed into a remote section of Virginia’s Great Dismal Swamp, Friday, October 11, 2013.
Because the crash site cannot be reached by vehicle, Dismal Swamp Canal Park officials planned to use a bulldozer to clear a path for 4-wheel-drive vehicles, said state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.
Authorities located the wreckage around 4 p.m. in Chesapeake’s Great Dismal Swamp, using a helicopter to conduct the search. Crews were able to reach the crash site later Friday evening, state police said in a news release.
Police said the victims included 61-year-old pilot Theodore “Ted” Bradshaw of Cooper City, who had more than 30 years of flying experience. The other victims were Bradshaw’s wife, 48-year-old Mary Anne Bradshaw, and 64-year-old Charles Rodd and 58-year-old Diane Rodd, both of Palm Beach.
