No one survived the accident, which occurred when a small plane collided with a vacant hanger in a fiery crash
USA TODAYTen people were killed on Sunday when a small, twin-engine airplane crashed into a vacant hangar during takeoff at a Dallas-area airport.
The plane, which was headed for St. Petersburg, Florida, was taking off at the south end of the airport. It had just lifted off the runway when it veered left, dropped its left wing and went into the hangar, according to Addison fire spokesman Edward Martelle. The resulting fire was quickly extinguished, he said.
“It looked like it was clearly reduced power. I didn’t know if it was on purpose or not, but then, when the plane started to veer to the left, and you could tell it couldn’t climb. My friend and I looked at each other and we’re like, ‘Oh my God. They’re going to crash,’” Snell said.“He got onto the runway, went down the runway, started taking off.
"It's a very sad day for Dallas County," Jenkins told The Dallas Morning News."My prayers are with the families we're notifying about this tragedy."
