A devastating plane crash occurred in Missouri, resulting in the loss of 12 lives.
The private plane, a Pacific Aerospace P-750, was carrying 11 skydivers and their pilot when it crashed just moments after takeoff from Butler Memorial Airport.
According to authorities, the plane struggled to gain altitude before making a sharp left turn, which may have been an attempt by the pilot to make an emergency landing on a nearby highway.
Witnesses described the scene as incredibly fast, with the plane crashing nose-first into the ground.
Aviation experts believe that the NTSB investigators will focus on several key details, including the plane's loading, maintenance history, and engine performance during takeoff.
