Texas plane crash kills EVERY passenger on board
22 April 2019 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/wo...crash-six-dead-west-houston-airport-kerrville
A PLANE crash in Texas has killed every passenger on board with six confirmed dead.
The twin-engine Beech BE58 aircraft crashed into a ravine around 9:00am local time (4:00pm BST) and killed all six passengers on board, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
It departed from the West Houston Airport and crashed in Kerrville.
The plane was scheduled to land at Kerrville Municipal Airport.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the plane crashed while preparing to land.
FAA officials said: “The wreckage was located about 6 miles northwest of the airport. According to preliminary information, at least six people were aboard the aircraft.
“The flight had departed earlier this morning from West Houston Airport outside Houston.”
An investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board has been launched.
This is the second fatal small-plane crash in the past two days in the Texas Hill Country.
Two people were killed on Sunday afternoon near the airstrip at the Shirley Williams Airport in Kingsland.

Plane crashes into PRISON – emergency crews rush to scene
22 April 2019 | https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/wo...California-Rehabilitation-Center-fifth-street
A PLANE crashed into a California State Prison facility with plumes of smoke seen for miles around.
A witness of the crash, Susan Fracol, said: “It is heartbreaking. The pilot was a family friend.
“He was a very experienced pilot.”
The small plane was a 75-year-old historic Northrop N9M aircraft.
It was identified as a Flying Wing owned by the Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino.
According to the museum’s website, the plane was built in 1944 and is considered a forerunner of the B-2 stealth bomber.
Northrop built four prototypes, but there was only one remaining.
Restoration of the aircraft was completed in the 1990s and flight testing in 1996.
It has a top speed of 220mph.
The circumstances surrounding the crash are currently unknown, Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.
Riverside County Sheriff tweeted: “On 4/22/19, at 12:10PM, deputies received reports of an air emergency in the 1900 block of 4th St.
“The circumstances are unknown and the NTSB will be conducting the investigation into the plane crash. No further information is available for release from RSO.”

Authorities say nobody on the ground was hurt.
The pilot, who is male, was the only person on board.
But his condition is not yet known.
It is also understood that he was preparing for an air show.
Television news footage shows debris spread across a scorched patch of empty yard.

Officials said the plane came down and rolled over on its left-hand side, bursting into flames.
Pictures from US media show fire crews surrounding the charred wreckage of the plane after it was extinguished.
It's thought the plane was heading for Heber Valley, Utah.
The aircraft was around 15 feet off the ground when the crash happened, Fullerton Fire Department said.
California-based journalist Jack Noyes tweeted just after 8pm Pacific Time (4am BST): "A twin-engine plane has caught fire and crashed at or near the Fullerton Airport in Orange County."
