There appear to be no survivors after a twin-engine plane crashed shortly after taking off from an airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, on Wednesday.
The Beechcraft BE20 went down after departing from the Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport about noon, according to a preliminary report from the Federal Aviation Administration. There were five people on the plane headed to Columbus, Ohio.
Lt. Cody Burk, with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, told reporters that authorities were in "recovery mode," according to NBC affiliate KARK of Little Rock.
"Right now, there are no survivors that we can find," Burk said.
CTEH, a science-based consulting firm, confirmed it had five employees, including the pilot, on board the plane. All five were killed when it crashed.
The employees were not individually identified.
“We ask everyone to keep the families of those lost and the entire CTEH team in their thoughts and prayers," said Dr. Paul Nony, senior vice president of CTEH.
Officials said five people were on board an airplane that crashed near the Clinton National Airport just after noon Wednesday, with deputies at the scene saying there were no survivors found.
The team were on their way to their way to respond to an incident at the I. Schumann & Co. metal alloy manufacturer in Ohio, CTEH said. An industrial blast at the plant killed one person and injured more than a dozen others Monday.
The cause of the blast was still under investigation.
Multiple agencies responded to the crash, which occurred on a road outside a 3M manufacturing plant. The National Transportation Safety Board is expected to lead the investigation, as is typical with plane crashes.
Burk said the weather conditions at the time of the crash were "not that good" but could not speculate on the cause of the crash. KARK metrologist Pat Walker noted a thunderstorm had moved into the area at the same time as the crash, with wind gusts over 40 mph.
