A light aircraft has
crashed in Hawaii, killing at least nine people on board, officials say.
The twin-engine aircraft
went down close to Dillingham Airfield near Mokuleia in Honolulu County. There
were no survivors from the King Air flight, the Hawaii Department of
Transportation tweeted.
Photos showed smoke
billowing from miles away. It is not yet clear if the plane was taking off or
landing. "Right now, the initial report is that there were nine souls on
board," an official told Hawaii News Now. "There's no survivors."
The Honolulu Fire
Department said that they received reports of a downed plane at around 6:30 pm
on Friday. According to its website, Dillingham Airfield is a joint-use site
with the US army having first priority for air-land operations and helicopter
night-vision training.
