WTFX reports that the plane was a medical flight with two doctors, two pilots, a patient, and a family member onboard.
Fox News is reporting that “At least six people are reported to be dead.” It’s not clear if those fatalities were among people on the ground or in the plane. Update — Fox reports that the six casualties were onboard the plane.
Local media is speculating that ice on the wings could have been a problem, but a pilot I spoke with said that it’s too warm for that to have been the issue.
This crash comes just days after the catastrophic crash between an American Eagle jet and an Army Black Hawk helicopter that left 67 people dead on Wednesday.
Update 7:35 p.m.: CNN reports that it was a “Lear Jet 55 twin-engine business jet” that may have originated out of the country, possibly Mexico. It’s being reported that the plane descended at 11,000 feet per minute.
