A private jet carrying eight people crashed on takeoff from Bangor, Maine, Sunday evening, according to the FAA.

The extent of their injuries was not known, a source briefed on the incident told CNN.

“First responders are still on the scene and are expected to be actively working the site for several more hours before any additional information is available,” the City of Bangor and Bangor International Airport said in a statement Sunday, without revealing the cause of the crash

Per the FAA a singular member of the flight crew is still alive in serious condition. I would imagine they were the pilot considering the other 7 were passengers

Other sources says there were 3 crew members and 5 passengers, so im assuming 2 of the deceased refered to as passengers were probably actually crew

NTSB investigators have been unable to reach the crash site as of Monday morning because of heavy snow and poor conditions from the winter storm that began Sunday. A team may not get there for another day or two.
