Instagram model Mariah Coogan Shares haunting video aboard an aircraft before crash

An Instagram model was among six people who died when a private plane crashed onto an Arizona golf course on Monday.

Mariah Sunshine Coogan, called out to a friend, Anand "Happy" Patel, in a haunting video she recorded just before the crash. Patel smiles for the camera as the engine of the Piper PA-24 Comanche fires up.

The 23 year old model who had recently appeared in a teeth-whitening advert. Others aboard the flight included 22-year-old Helena Lagos and 28-year-old James Perdoza, a VIP host at The Mirage nightclub in Las Vegas, who bought the six-seater plane earlier this year, did not have a pilot’s license.

Reports said that the group were heading to Las Vegas.

A call to air traffic control indicated the flight was a training lesson.

"Are you experiencing any difficulty?" an air traffic control operator can be heard saying.

"Uh, we're good. Just a training lesson" the pilot gave an inaudible responds. Immediately after the call, the plane crashed.

Investigators are looking into whether there were too many people onboard and to know the pilot of the aircraft.
