BANGOR, Maine (AP) — A business jet carrying eight people flipped over and caught fire as it attempted to take off during a snowstorm at Maine's Bangor International Airport, federal authorities reported. The incident occurred around 7:45 p.m. on Sunday, with no immediate information available regarding the conditions of those aboard. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are investigating; preliminary information indicates that the plane suffered a post-crash fire after the crash. Flight controllers confirmed the aircraft was upside down shortly after takeoff clearance. Bangor International Airport, located about 200 miles north of Boston, offers direct flights to destinations such as Orlando, Washington, D.C., and Charlotte. The airport was closed following the incident and remains so as of Monday, with air traffic severely affected. The storm causing the crash has led to significant disruptions in air travel, with thousands of flights canceled or delayed across the eastern US. The Bombardier Challenger 600, known for its spacious cabin, has been a popular choice for private charters since its launch in 1980.
