The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration says seven people were killed and a crew member survived with serious injuries when a private business jet crashed in a snowstorm at Maine’s Bangor International Airport.
The Bombardier Challenger 600 carrying eight people crashed on takeoff around 7:45 p.m. local time Sunday night as New England and much of the country grappled with a massive winter storm.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating. The NTSB said preliminary information shows the plane crashed upon departure and experienced a post-crash fire, but that it would have no further statement until after investigators arrive in a day or two.
