The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has initiated an investigation into a tragic crash of a Bombardier Challenger 600 at Bangor International Airport, Maine, that resulted in the loss of all six people aboard. The incident occurred during takeoff around 7:45 PM on Sunday, coinciding with a significant winter storm.
Experts are examining whether icy conditions may have contributed to the crash, especially considering previous incidents involving this aircraft model related to icing on the wings. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that the flight crashed under unknown conditions and flipped over before catching fire.
Among the deceased victims is Shawna Collins, a respected event planner from Lakewood Church in Houston, who was onboard with other passengers including a pilot, Jacob Hosmer. The crash raises serious concerns about the safety protocols for business jets in harsh weather conditions.
The local community is in mourning as the investigation continues, with potential updates expected soon from the NTSB.
