Ten people dead after a private jet crashes into a hangar shortly after takeoff

At least 10 people have died in a small plane crash which started a fire at a Dallas-area airport on Sunday morning. The Federal Aviation Administration says the twin-engine Beechcraft BE-350 King Air crashed into an unoccupied hangar at the Addison Municipal Airport shortly after 9am. Edward Martelle, a spokesman for the town located just north of Dallas, said the plane crashed during takeoff and the resulting fire was quickly extinguished. The town has confirmed that there were 10 fatalities as a result of the incident. He says authorities do not yet have a flight manifest and cannot release any information on the identity or condition of those aboard. The US FAA investigators were at the crash site Sunday afternoon and the National Transportation Safety Board is sending investigators to the scene. According to FlightAware, the plane was bound for St. Petersburg, Florida, where it was scheduled to land at 1:18pm local time. The plane's activity log from the previous 10 days shows that the aircraft made numerous flights to Eagle, Colorado; Denver, and Aspen.
