On Friday morning, a tragic incident occurred as a small plane crashed shortly after taking off from Pitt-Greenville Airport in North Carolina, resulting in the loss of two lives, as per officials.
Reportedly, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza heading to Florida crashed at approximately 7:50 a.m. in the vicinity of a utility store just a little over a mile away from the Greenville airport. This information was confirmed by the Federal Aviation Administration and the Greenville Police Department.
Despite an extensive search and rescue effort, the two individuals who were flying in the single-engine aircraft were unaccounted for. However, human remains were found at the crash site, as reported by WITN.
“Sadly, there were no survivors,” police said on Facebook Friday morning.
“Investigators are still working to identify the individuals on board the plane. There were no other injuries.”
The identities of the victims have not been released.
The doomed flight, destined for Vero Beach, departed at 7:46 a.m. before crashing minutes later the back of Consolidated Pipe and Supply Company on Greene Street, according to FlightRadar24 and police.
No employees were injured.
The crash shut down North Memorial Drive between Belvoir Road and Airport Road for a majority of the day before traffic resumed as normal around 4:20 p.m., police said.
It remains unknown what caused the crash.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation.
The latest incident happened just hours after a diverted American Airlines plane burst into flames when it touched down at Denver International Airport Thursday night after crew members reported engine vibrations.
The flames and thick black smoke forced the evacuating passengers — 172 travelers and six crew members — onto the wing of the aircraft as thick, black smoke covered the tarmac.
Twelve people suffered minor injuries and were transported to local hospitals for treatment.
