All seven people aboard a private plane that crashed in a Massachusetts air field and erupted into a fireball were killed, authorities said Sunday, according to AP.
The Gulfstream IV crashed as it was leaving Hanscom Field about 9:40 p.m. Saturday for Atlantic City International Airport in New Jersey, said Matthew Brelis, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Port Authority, which operates the air field.
"There were no survivors," Brelis said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the people on board and their loved ones."
Officials also did not speculate on what they think caused the crash. They said the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate and determine what happened.
Nearby residents recounted seeing a fireball and feeling the blast of the explosion shake their homes.
