US: Private Plane Crashes with 8 Aboard at Airport (VIDEO)

A small private plane crashed while taking off from Bangor International Airport in Maine, USA, becoming a fireball. The FAA announced the incident, without immediately providing information on the fate of the eight people on board or their identities. The FAA and the NTSB will investigate the cause of the crash. A government official stated that the aircraft was full of fuel, which caused a large fire. Light snow was falling at the airport before the incident, but it is not yet known if this contributed to the crash. The plane had arrived in Maine from Texas and was owned by a company with the same address as a law firm. It was put into service in April 2020.
