Brent Beardall Plane Crash

<span>On Jan. 2, 2023, Brent Beardall and two other passengers boarded a private plane piloted by a bank client and friend. They took off from Provo, Utah, to attend the Rose Bowl football game in Pasadena, California. Shortly after takeoff — not much above 200 feet in the air — the small twin-engine jet banked hard left, its left wingtip tearing a gash in the runway, which slammed the plane into a patch of snow and ice, rolling 10 to 15 times.<br><br></span>"My nose was essentially severed from my face. My right leg had a compound fracture, both bones sticking out of the leg,” Beardall said. “My pelvic bone was destroyed. Both arms were embedded in the cockpit."
