Hopefully nobody is killed, but sadly, it may be so. Thoughts to them and their families. Always sad to see this, especially when it is a historic aircraft. Reminds me of the DC-3 crash earlier this year :(

MaxSez: Latest: Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public ProtectionCommissioner James Rovella said at a news conference that there were 13 people on board the plane at the time, including 10 passengers and three crew members. Rovella added that one person was also on the ground in a maintenance facility when the plane crashed.

Update: As of my reading. One article has said that there have been at least 3 confirmed deaths. However it has not been verified.

I pray for all on board. Dead or alive.

My guess is they will clean it up quickly, but there might be burnt areas.

This is really sad, hope everything goes ok there.
I live about 50 miles or so from Bradley Intl, over in NY. @Will_A, you must be pretty close to Bradley, right? 😉

I’m less than 100 miles away from Bradley. My prayers and thoughts go out to the victims and their families.

According to what I’ve read, there have been five confirmed fatalities. Many others have been injured, some beyond recognition.

Such a historical bird to go down. 😢

My question is why is the aircraft doing still flying? Also, why is it flying into a major commercial airport? Why were there 13 people aboard?

Why is it still flying?
Cause it was airworthy
Why is it at an airport?
That’s where airplanes operate out of
Why was there pax onboard?
They paid for a flight
