B-17 Plane Crash Kills Seven In CT

At least seven people are dead and seven more are injured following in the crash of a World War II era plane at Bradley International Airport in Connecticut yesterday. The B-17 Flying Fortress went down shortly before 10am as the pilot attempted to land after notifying the control tower there was an issue.

There were 13 people on board – 10 passengers, two crewmembers and an attendant. The injured, including a maintenance worker on the ground, were taken to area hospitals. No names have been released. The cause of the crash is under investigation.

The plane was part of the ā€œWings of Freedom Tourā€ which provides rides for a donation to benefit the Massachusetts-based nonprofit foundation that owns vintage airplanes. In a statement, the Collings Foundation says its thoughts and prayers are with those who were on the flight, and forever grateful for the heroic efforts of first responders at the airport.
