The aircraft struck a white 2012 Ford E-150 Econoline van and a Toyota Corolla Cross LE, according to local10.com. The aircraft's two pilots were treated and released from the hospital, abc11.com and local10.com reported. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating. Investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder, and NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said the NTSB expected to release a readout of the voice recorder on Wednesday after the pilots had been interviewed, abc11.com reported. Homendy also said pilots and crew would be interviewed on Wednesday, local10.com reported. NTSB lead investigator Chihoon Shin detailed the final 30 seconds of the recording, abc11.com reported. The cause of the crash has not been determined. Weather observations at International Airport, 6.2 miles away, recorded wind from 190 degrees at 17 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, scattered clouds at 2,000 feet, thunderstorms, and a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit, seven minutes from the reported time.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
