Skydivers Plane Crashes Near KC

A private plane carrying 12 people—including 11 skydivers—crashed south of Kansas City just before 11 AM, killing everyone on board. The aircraft, from Skydive Kansas City, reportedly turned back before the crash, with emergency crews arriving swiftly to extinguish the fire amid a heartbreaking scene. Witnesses, including family members, described the moment of impact. While some speculate the pilot may have been attempting an emergency landing after power loss, authorities are still investigating—no foul play or terrorism suspected, and no connection to the World Cup. This isn’t the first skydiving-related incident at Butler Memorial Airport, where a similar crash in 2024 saw seven safely eject.
