Ten dead in horror plane crash at a Texas airport: No survivors after a private plane suddenly veered left and flew into a hangar just moments after taking off
Federal officials said 10 people - two crew and eight passengers - 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. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins tweeted on Sunday night officials have briefed all of the victims' families. Their names have not been made public as of Monday morning.
FAA investigators were at the crash site Sunday afternoon and the National Transportation Safety Board sent an eight-person go-team to the scene. Source
