Plane Crashes Into Building at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita
A small airplane plowed into a flight safety center at an airport in Kansas after losing engine power on takeoff Thursday, killing at least two people and leaving five others unaccounted for, officials said. The twin-engine Beechcraft King Air struck the roof of a two-story FlightSafety International building at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita after reporting engine trouble around 10 a.m. ET, sending up thick plumes of black smoke. “It was horrific,” Ronald Blackwell, the Wichita Fire Chief, said at a news conference just after 12 p.m. ET. Two people were dead, four others were injured, and five other people were missing, Blackwell said. He said only the pilot was on the airplane and that both people confirmed dead were found inside the building. FAA investigators were at the scene and the National Transportation Safety Board was notified of the crash.  · |

I used to live like 5 miles from that airport years back. It's now called Dwight D Eisenhower national airport now.

Re: Plane Crashes Into Building at Mid-Continent Airport in Wichita
Today, they were listing the death toll at 4. One was the pilot of the small aircraft, and the other three were pilots being trained in flight simulators inside the building that was struck. Must be the first instance of a fatal crash involving a flight simulator.  |
