Hannah Luce

Luce was one of the five passengers heading to a Christian youth rally held by Teen Mania Ministries called Acquire the Fire, in Council Bluffs, Iowa. They were on board an eight-seater Cessna 401 aircraft which went down about an hour and a half after takeoff on Friday, May 11, 2012 9 miles (14 km) west of Chanute, Kansas. The plane was flying from Richard Lloyd Jones Jr. Airport in Jenks, Oklahoma, to Council Bluffs Municipal Airport in Iowa. The plane burst into flames when it crashed, killing the pilot, Luke Sheets, of Ephraim, Wisconsin, Stephen Luth, of Muscatine, Iowa, and Garrett Coble, of Tulsa, Oklahoma. U.S. Marine Corps veteran Austin Anderson, of Ringwood, Oklahoma died on May 12, 2012 from burns over 90 percent of his body.[1] Though she didn't suffer any broken bones or internal bleeding, Luce was burned over 30 percent of her body, and was treated in the burn center of the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas.[2][3]
