Sunday morning, six people were killed after a small plane crashed in the northeast of Ohio.
Two crew members and four passengers were aboard the Cessna 441 plane which crashed seven minutes after taking off from the Youngstown-Warren regional airport.
Youngstown’s NBC WFMJ affiliate reported that the Ohio State Highway Patrol has received an accident at 7:01 a.m. Sunday in the King Graves Road region.
He crashed in a wooded area in the canton of Howland, 2 km east of the airport. Officials said the plane was heading for Bozeman, Montana.
“We have a broken heart to point out that there are no survivors,” Anthony Trevena, executive director of Western Reserve Port Authority, said on Sunday at a press conference.
The first speakers recovered the wreck bodies and they are with the Coroner office. The identities are awaiting nearby notification.
The National Transportation Safety Board was on site Sunday evening and investigates the cause of the accident. The Federal Aviation Administration also helps the survey.
Howland’s canton firefighters Ray Pace said it was difficult to access the plane while he crashed into a highly wooded area between King Graves Road and Spring Run Road. The authorities could only set a fire on the accident site through these roads and the courtyard of a person.
Pace said the tragedy was probably the most deadly plane crushing in the history of the county.
The officials said the pilots were “very experienced”.
“These are the best of the best in terms of people here on the field, as well as the pilots. I cannot say enough about them and give anything to rewind the day and take them to breakfast instead,” said Mike Hillman of Jets FBO.
“I cannot think of better people. So our community is great, and they are really wonderful people. It is a very united community, so all those in the aviation community have contacted. They are really important people for us, so we are grateful for the support of our community,” added Trevena.
