A pilot and 11 skydivers have died after a private plane crashed in Butler, Missouri on Sunday morning.
The aircraft – a Pacific Aerospace P750 – crashed just after takeoff at 11.30am, a spokesperson with Bates County Emergency Management and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told the Daily Mail.
The plane took off from Butler Memorial Airport when it ‘wasn’t able to get enough climb,’ and attempted to make a left turn to land on an adjacent highway, the spokesperson told Daily Mail.
