celebritiesThe circumstances surrounding the plane crash of German actor Christian Oliver (51) and his daughters Madita (12) and Annik (10) are becoming increasingly tragic. “Oliver actually didn’t want to fly from the Caribbean island of Bequia,” says director Nick Lyon (53), who was still in contact with the actor. This is what the German newspaper ‘BILD’ writes.
Director Nick Lyon had been shooting a film with Christian Oliver in Los Angeles until December 22. A few days ago, the German actor died in a plane crash near the island of Bequia in the Caribbean. According to Lyon, the actor wanted to go home as quickly as possible, because he had a big party planned in Los Angeles. The director told ‘BILD’: “He wasn’t supposed to fly this small plane. But American Airlines had canceled his original flight and he wouldn’t be able to leave until four days later.”
Oliver was therefore very stressed. “He then went to a dive shop on the island to cancel a planned dive. The owner of the shop ‘Dive Bequia’ said: ‘Hey, I’m a pilot too, I can fly you.” It was Robert ‘Bob’ Sachs, owner of the Bellanca 17-30A Super Viking, the ill-fated aircraft. Their destination was the island of St. Lucia, 60 miles away, where Christian and his two daughters would connect on a flight to LA.
Sachs, a New Jersey native, ran the dive center with his wife Cathy. It is not known how extensive his flying experience was. However, he already posted photos of his Bellanca, built in 1974, in 2012. He received the current pilot’s license for the aircraft with registration N4023B on January 3, 2022. It is valid until January 31, 2029. It is still unclear why his plane crashed. Eyewitnesses speak of an engine failure shortly after takeoff. Then a strong wind allegedly blew up and pushed the plane into the water.
