Aircraft crashed on takeoff at Bangor airport as visibility diminished amid winter storm, leading to airport shutdown

Six people died when a business jet crashed during takeoff as a snowstorm moved in and visibility diminished at Maine’s Bangor international airport on Sunday night, according to officials.

The Bombardier Challenger 600 carrying the dead crashed on takeoff at about 7.45pm on Sunday night as Bangor, the rest of the New England region, and much of the country grappled with a deadly, major winter storm. The airport, about 200 miles (320km) north of Boston, shut down after the crash.
