WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A small plane has crashed at Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport, sending up huge plumes of black smoke that can be seen for miles around the city.
Officials say at least two people are dead inside the building where the plane crashed.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Tony Molinaro says a twin-engine Beechcraft King Air reported losing engine power just after takeoff Thursday morning.
Molinaro says the plane crashed into a building on airport property while attempting to return to the runway.
Fire trucks were positioned near the crash and were pouring water on the wreckage.
