Heard it crashed on takeoff sometime this morning. It was a King Air.

Looks like one of the engines failed right after take off which is the nightmare scenario. Another website said that a pilot witnessed that after takeoff. That king air will roll and put you upside down in a heartbeat if you dont make a split second flight control input to correct the adverse yaw and roll. It's scary stuff.

Have they released any names yet? Terrible news.

No names or even the tail number at this point.

Terribly sad.

The tail number was N534FF which is a Chicago-based charter plane, but nothing released on victims' names yet.

Have you seen a list of names yet? Unfortunately I think I knew of someone on board.

this is the only ones they have released so far. But rumors that a JLL exec (Steve Thelen) and his wife were on board

This is the saddest news I've heard in a long time. My condolences to the Thelen's. Steve and Gina were great Aggies and wonderful people. RIP. Prayers sent.
Comeby!

We knew Mary Titus from Tennis Competitors of Dallas. So sad.

It was really a godsend that no one was in that hangar.

I used to fly in King Airs and I reached out to one of my pilots who has been flying them for over 25 years. He said that a single engine failure at V1 is something they constantly train for and should be a survivable event.

Pilot was 71 and the copilot was 28. I'm not sure I'd want either of those aged pilots at the controls of a plane I was on in that situation.
