At Bangor International Airport, Maine, a small private jet encountered trouble during takeoff and crashed on the runway. According to reports, there were eight people aboard. The incident resulted in the closure of the International airport during the night while emergency services cleared the runway.
It has been reported that the crashed airplane was a Bombardier Challenger 650. The small private jet was seen upside down on the runway by eyewitnesses. The crash happened around 7:45 pm on Sunday. The airport administration has stated that the airport will remain closed until at least midday on Monday.
At present, the cause of the crash is unknown. There is speculation that the high winds and icy conditions may have a large part to play. However, until the lengthy investigation process is completed, the verdict won't be available. At present, the local authorities are still working to clear the area and ensure airport safety.
As of the time of writing, the fate of the eight people on board the small plane crash in Bangor, Maine, has not been released. However, the runway has been heavily populated with emergency vehicles. For several hours, medical teams were seen on site. Officials have stated that information will be released when preliminary investigations are completed.
The plane crash came amid huge snowstorms and high winds that had already resulted in the closure of many airports and the cancellation of flights across the country. This has raised the question for many as to why the plane was allowed to take off from the Maine airport in the first place.
The airport was subject to extreme weather conditions at the time, with a winter warning. The temperature at the time was around 2 degrees Celsius. Heavy snowfall was expected for the evening. The flight was already going to be a high risk and would have been advised against.
The winter storm continues to batter the East Coast, causing delays across the area. Roads, airports, and other transport lines all have to adjust to the incoming winter weather. This has caused long delays and cancellations at many airports, and roads are experiencing huge levels of traffic as people exercise caution in the cold.
