Six people were killed in a plane crash in Youngstown, Ohio on Sunday morning. A Cessna 441 carrying four passengers and two crew members crashed behind a house in Howland Township just seven minutes after takeoff, local news station WKBN reported. The victims have not yet been identified. Authorities said in a press conference that the aircraft was headed for Bozeman, Montana but was found in a heavily wooded area two miles away from the end of the runway of the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport. The cause of the crash has not yet been determined. The National Transportation Safety Board said it was probing the incident. Joe Nuskievicz, a resident, said he heard the crash from his porch. “I noticed the sound of an airplane in the distance that the engine didn’t sound right. It sounded very underpowered—just like it didn’t sound like it had enough power to be able to really go, and I noticed that I didn’t see it. It was below the tree lines,” he said. “I heard a loud crash, a horrible crash. I could hear trees cracking, you know, heavy impact, and I knew that it crashed, but I couldn’t see it.” Authorities rushed to the scene after multiple 911 callers reported hearing a crash and seeing smoke.
