Skydivers Killed in Missouri Plane Crash

Twelve skydivers and their pilot lost their lives in a tragic plane crash just minutes after takeoff near Butler, Missouri. The Pacific Aerospace 750XL, registered to Skydive Kansas City, was en route to a jump when it went down — prompting an urgent investigation by the NTSB. While a preliminary report is expected in 30 days, a full probe could take up to two years. This isn’t the first incident for the company this year — a May parachute malfunction forced seven jumpers to eject safely. Skydive Kansas City is grieving the loss and focusing on supporting families and the community, while names of the victims remain pending release.
