Skydiver Plane Crashes Near Missouri Airport

A skydiving plane carrying twelve people crashed moments after takeoff near Butler Memorial Airport in Missouri, bursting into flames in a scene described as “brutal” by first responders. The single-engine turboprop, operated by Skydive Kansas City, reportedly lost power during a left turn and crashed nose-first while attempting to return to the runway. Investigators from the NTSB and FAA are now on site as they work to determine the cause of the deadly crash — with no passengers having jumped before impact. The small airport, home to around thirty private aircraft, typically hosts skydiving operations for eight months a year. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
