Investigators from the Federal Aviation Administration will be at the scene of a small plane crash over the weekend at Rochester's airport. Authorities say the plane took off and was in the air for about five minutes when engine failure was reported. The Buffalo-area pilot attempted to return to the airport but missed the runway. Peter Treichler of East Aurora, suffered a back injury and was released from Strong Memorial Hospital on Sunday. The crash closed the main runway at Greater Rochester International Airport for about three hours on Saturday.
