A private business jet crash in Bangor, Maine, on January 25 claimed the lives of six individuals, including two crew members and four passengers.
The 2020 Bombardier CL 600 was reportedly registered to a Houston-based law firm, Arnold & Itkin. The plane had just arrived from Houston and was en route to Paris-Vatry Airport for fuel and de-icing when the crash occurred.
Bangor police officials confirmed that the victims included 46-year-old Tara Arnold, 47-year-old Jacob Hosmer, 33-year-old Jorden Reidel, 34-year-old Shelby Kuyawa, 53-year-old Shawna Collins, and 43-year-old Nick Mastracusa. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner has identified all victims.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the incident, focusing on the pilot, aircraft, and operating conditions. Witnesses or individuals with relevant information are encouraged to contact the NTSB. A preliminary report is expected within 30 days, while a final report detailing the probable cause may take up to a year.
Emergency responders were on the scene following the crash, but no further details on injuries beyond those deceased have been released. No lane closures or operational disruptions at Bangor Airport were reported post-incident.
