U.S Airplane Crashes While Taking Off, Killing 7 Aboard (Photos) by Kaliningrad(op): 6:59pm On Jan 26

🇺🇸 Seven people were killed and just one person miraculously survived after a private jet flipped upside down and crashed as it was taking off in heavy snow in Maine, officials said Monday.

The twin-engine turbo-fan Bombardier Challenger 600 went up in flames after it went down at Bangor International Airport at about 7:45 p.m. on Sunday during the massive winter storm, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

The identities of those on board weren’t immediately available. The jet was registered to a Texas personal-injury law firm.

The sole survivor was a crew member who was left seriously injured, according to officials.

Preliminary details indicated the business jet crashed as it was trying to take off and quickly exploded into flames, investigators said.

Audio from air traffic controllers captured someone saying “aircraft upside down, we have a passenger aircraft upside down” roughly 45 seconds after the jet was cleared to take off.

The cause of the wreck is still under investigation. Snowfall was heavy at the time but only a couple of inches had fallen at that point.

One of the law firm’s founding partners is listed as the registered agent for the company that owns the plane.

The airport was closed immediately after the crash and won’t reopen until at least noon on Wednesday.

America is the place where our Access bank CEO lost his life. They also killed Kobe Bryant in a needless helicopter crash. These crashes need to be investigated

If it were to be a Nigerian Aircraft, hell will let loose...there would be people clamouring that the Aviation Minister should resign or be sacked. This usually happens in America but, sadly we just don't hear about it. We lost Herbert Wigwe to this same crash in America few years ago.

I go lie for you?

God Bless Nigeria 🙏

You would have heard statements like “ In saner climes, such can never happen “

Especially those African wannabe’s.

Why don't you just go into this kind of YouTube niche. You will make money instead of sending it here always. I can see that's what you specialize on Mr OP. I can also see you kinda dislike the USA. Lol
