Plane Crashes into Hangar at Addison Airport

On Sunday, June 30 at approximately 9:10am, a Beechcraft BE-350 King Air crashed into a hangar at Addison Airport shortly after take off killing all 10 passengers on board. The first Addison Fire Department units were on scene in 1.5 minutes and were able to extinguish the resulting blaze in less than 20 minutes. With help from the City of Farmers Branch Emergency Management team, a Family Assistance Center was set up at the Addison Conference Centre. Family members of the victims gathered there Sunday afternoon and Monday for updates from the Medical Examiner's office, briefings from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators, and assistance from local support groups, including the American Red Cross and Dallas County Health and Human Services.

NTSB investigators were able to recover the aircraft's cockpit voice recorder and shared at a press briefing on Tuesday that on the recording, the pilots indicated a problem with the left engine. The NTSB has transported the plane to an undisclosed, secure site and will continue their investigation there. They anticipate releasing a preliminary report in two weeks, but the entire investigation could last up to two years.
